Has anyone done the cam seal on a f22?

Do you need the special installer tool?

Do you need to take out the rocker girdle / cam retainers?

Do you need something to hold the cam like the honda service manual shows?

My thoughts on the process were this:

1. take of valve cover
2. take of top timing cover
3. mark cam and timing belt w/ grease pencil
4. slide off belt / remove cam gear bolt
5. remove old seal
6. put in new seal
7 re-install in reverse order, making sure that the marks on the belt/gear line up.

Honda wants $220 to do this...the damn part was $5.

 

Sounds easy to do.
If you do go to Honda your paying that 220 in case they **** it up. If so, then they fix it.

If you do it and something messes up you will pay more to fix your mistakes.

there go your two options.... = )

 

The cam needs a special tool for the cam seal to be installed.

According to the helm manual you can order the tool from Honda with you new seals. The manual lists the part no of the tool.
