The car is too quiet for me now(its weird)...it feels like it doesn't pull as much as before now. But when VTEC engages I can definitely hear it from the muffler.

- Wed Jun 26, 2013 4:03 am #333436 My AC wasn't as cold as it use to be on a very hot day. I took her in for some servicing.

They recovered my R-134a and found out it only had like 1 pound of it. My system requires like 20 some ounces. So it leaked slowly for over a year. We found out it was leaking from my shraeder valve (spelled right?).

- Tue Jul 02, 2013 7:57 pm #333758 Ordered something from Crutchfield. Now my music sounds cleaner and definitely can play louder. I have the front channels hooked up to my front speakers. The rear channels are bridged to my 12" sub. The head is powering the rear speakers. I'm just need to buy a 500 watt amp for my other sub. The sub I got in the car is rated a 200rms.




Decided to paint my front grill and it decided to rain in the middle of me painting it

Ordered stuff from JDMdecals.com and they also threw in a free wristband.

So yesterday I finally bought a torque wrench. It was rated at 5-80 ft lbs. I needed one to do my cam seal for the longest time. Just had other priorities

Parts I needed to change


My cheat sheet


Removed Breather hose(red), valve cover nuts & washer/o-rings(yellow), and spark plug wires(green)



Removed all bolts circled in green


Took off oil rail and bolts


Found the culprit! Shank was almost flush with the surface. In the pic I unscrewed it a lil bit


Here's a reference of the messed up bolt and the new one


cam seal I was replacing


Oil's best friend (Hondabond)


Applied Hondabond to surfaces needed





Installed cam cap



Install oil rail and torque bolts 1-10 20ft lbs/240in lbs




Now torque bolts 11-14 7.1ft lbs/86in lbs. Since my torque wrench is on increments of 1ft lbs I did 7ft lbs.


I applied Hondabond to these corners to prevent future oil leaks


Installed valve cover with gasket


Now I finished installed the valve cover breather hose, spark plug wires, and I just hand tightened the valve cover nuts. Last time I tried to torque em they started to strip.

- Mon Sep 16, 2013 10:58 pm #336793 might've needed a lil more hondabond... lol

A little piss ant like you isnt worth being banned over.

Yea he has a bad habit of being overly sarcastic.. .. at the wrong times..

Nice work bro.

Thanks!

might've needed a lil more hondabond... lol

Lol! Just a lil bit



So after I changed my cam seal I also did an oil change. Now I just need to change my cap & rotor, spark plug wires, and spark plug


Gettin it in a Wawa!

- Sun Sep 22, 2013 1:52 am #336950 During my time of fixing the cam seal leak...I found out my VTEC solenoid was also leaking oil. I was under the impression I also had a JDM B16A Obd-0 engine.

So when I went to research on how to change that gasket there was two different part numbers. B16A2 motors use different VTEC gaskets than the JDM B16A Obd-0. Attached a pic for reference.

B16A2 motors use
Upper: 36171-P08-005
Lower: 15825-P08-005



So moving on...I went to buy some gaskets



Upper gasket bolts


Lower gasket bolts...filthy in this area


Had to disconnect these two connectors



I took off the solenoid and inspected both gaskets. I seem to have a VTEC solenoid that uses B16A2 gaskets



So I ordered the gaskets that are on the right and Now I need to return them because I need the gaskets on the left
