Re: sparying oil
 

cam seal is my guess if its up high, if its low its the front main.

Re: sparying oil
 

so is this still a go buy ? i mean how hard/how much well it be to fix

Re: sparying oil
 

well, go to autozone.com and see how much a new one costs. then search online for a civic manual and look up how to change whatever seal it is your after. Either one is a quick fix if you have the right tools ;)

Re: sparying oil
 

well the cam seal is 4.99 and the front is yet to be found but yeah all and all i think its a good buy so then ill take my y7 i have now but in new rods and pistons for turbo and keep you updated

Re: sparying oil
 

You could just spring for the complete gasket kit so its never a worry again.

Re: sparying oil

Re: sparying oil
 

single cams do not have cam seals

Re: sparying oil
 

i never did buy this motor he told me it had a knock in it so ---- that when i can buy one for 450 for a j yard already pulled and a good running motor

Re: sparying oil
 

yeah f that man. get a junk yard motor. lol

Re: sparying oil
 

$450 for a junkyard engine, have you lost you ------- mind? I only paid $500 for a low mileage zc vtec from a local engine importer. And it has a 2year warranty. I dont know the exact milage of mine but when i took off the valve cover and oil pan it looked brand freakin new.

Re: sparying oil
 

No you didnt but I had no problem finding a camshaft seal on my single cams or at napaonline.com, part # BA 0523331. So what is it a technicality?? Please do tell, im on the edge of my seat waiting for you to tell the wonders of the d16 :-X

Re: sparying oil
 

maybe you are thinking of the dizzy o ring. i had an oil leak problem on my mini me swap way back when. There is no cam seal on a single cam.

Re: sparying oil
 

wtf are you talking about? He is talking about oil around the timing belt cover. the distributor is on the back side of the engine and it has a o ring to seal the it. Then theres the front side of the engine. what do you think stops oil from pouring into the timing belt cover? The cam seal sits right behind your cam gear on your single cam. it's real, I swear :y

Re: sparying oil
 

Ahh, you beat me to it.

89shitsnatch, wtf on that one.

Re: sparying oil
 

haha yea well when i ment cam seal i ment on the dizzy side. on dual cams there are cam seals on the dizzy side.
