I know this has been covered before, but I was wondering at what mileage are most of you replacing your Cam seals on your B series motors...I had heard they have a tendency to leak...how would I know if it was leaking and would it be a good idea to just go ahead and change it out anyhow? I mean it is only like 20-25 bucks for an STR or Golden Eagle cam seal.

 

uhmm you would know it was leaking if you had a leak by the cam seal Jabroni.

 

damnit..I know that....It was more like a should I change it if I have the time...preventative maintenence kind of question...I just couldnt figure out how to word it...

 

I would change it with something other than the OEM replacement. I am buying the STR cam seals, which have O Rings for a better seal. There are others out there too, these were just the most cost effective.

 

I put an STR one on at 65k miles and mine was leaking already. Know that I know about it, I'd probably replace as I was doing the swap. They really aren't expensive or hard to change.

 

so youd buy an STR or Goldeneagle cam seal before an OEM honda one? I need to replace mine too, little leakage coming out h:

 

Yes, the OEM one isn't that great, and is prone to leak. The others are made of AL with some O rings for a better seal.

 

heres some steps for anyone who might want them. http://repo.jackmoves.com/album159
