I think he was referring to the crank seal...?

Cam seal is easy. My sister recently drove her 98 Civic LX after the oil light came on, starved the head of oil, the cam got so hot the seal MELTED, and all the oil people kept putting in the engine was just -pouring- out of the cam seal. When removed, it had some metal shavings embedded in it... !! !!

But Honda engines are tough as hell.. that D16Y7 runs like a freaking champ, despite having the whole head at like nuclear temps.
