Basically losing oil, i think timing belt side (hard to tell where it is coming from).


Basically will be doing the timing belt soon anyway so thought i would replace all the oil seals that i can. Just need to make a list and need some help.

here is what i have so far:
Sump gasket
Crank Seal
Cam seals on timing belt side (do these get done? what about those golden eagle cam seals, are they on the timing belt or dizzy side)?
Oil pump (do these have a rubber seal? easy to swap? or is it just honda bond.. if so, what seals are needed for this)

any other suggestions?
I will also do the two on the vtec solenoid, because they are leaking.

rocker cover gasket?
Spark plug gaskets

Why not buy a complete overhaul kit and then sell the bits you don't want.
They aren't that expensive, i brought one a while back from the states.

As for the dizzy side cam seal, either re-use it and coat it with sealant or get any of the triple o-ring ones fromt here too.. real cheap.

i think i might actually go OEM bottom gasket kit
and get some cam seals between the cam and cam gears

a metal ringed cam seal too



so what seals the oil pump?
just O rings and honda bond?

it should be a big O ring seal. had to do mine when i went boost. not sure how to remove it tho.

try cleaning up the engine and driving for abit to see where its leaking from. when i thought i was having all those sump probs, it turned out to be the oil pump cos it just above it and you cant really see between the oil pump and the sump its hard to miss the leak.

Guys my B18CR is leaking from the passenger side, as it appears and as I've been advised its from the main seal. Is this a common problem? Is it expensive to get this seal replaced? Motor is in EG HB.

RMseal is very common with porsches too. The head seals and pumps etc. all have new seals, but not sure about the RMS. All I know atm is that the leak is coming from the left side of the car and is leaking down onto sump and all making it horribly greasy :(

best to try clean it up, then take it for a spin and let it sit for a while.. then check it to find where its coming from.
