ya those cam seals go down hill after 10 years so a 1st gen b16a needs new one for sure. Buy a cool billet one

Re: b16 compression results in!! see post 41 :(
what would cause the rex to dump more than half its oil in less than a day?
it dumps smoke from the muffler intermittently...
so heh.. idk.. any ideas? just did a botched head gasket job.. but the car runs and drives fine.. heh
