Noob questions

[bruceb]

Hey guys, few noob questions.

1:I need to replace the cam seal in my mums ls teg.

Where can I get one of those billet caps in aus? Or would you recommend just getting an oem seal?

I'd buy from the US but I need it before the 26th and I've had issues with postage times from there

2:Which other model prop valves fit? And where to get one? Perth is difficult for honda parts

Thanks

ebay for the cam end seal...oem leak unfortunately (well eventually anyway)

prop valve dunno, with the vin number call your dealer and see what a new ones worth (worth a shot) from there call wreckers like hondwreck, sydney auto dismantlers etc etc

Thanks, all the billet seals I've found on there are from US. Do any traders on here sell them?

I think I've found a prop valve already

re seal it with permatex grey if youre cheap

[bruceb]

The seal or the prop valve? Nah not being cheap haha I have to drive about 450kms to fix this thing so I don't want to have to go back.

Would have thought black better.

re seal it with permatex grey if youre cheap

[Daveho1]

both are suitable as grey is interchangeable with most Asian manufactures oem engine oil sealant, where as the black sealant is aimed more at the aftermarket is is meant to be better at slight gap filling aswell but honestly i havent come up against anything other then a sump that needs the black and even then i only use it on sumps because i hate doing sump gaskets...let alone redoing them

I've only ever had to use grey so far, I'll keep posting any other retarded questions I have in this thread to save cluttering the forum haha.
I'm a noob to hondas but not other cars

So i did the cam seal yesterday, but i have a question I already know the answer too.

I forgot to put lube on the cam cap when I put it back on, do I need to pull it off again and do it? (the answer is yes haha)
I haven't turned the motor over yet as the car doesn't really get driven often.

i know a number for a guy who has the prop valve (40:40) hes in perth.
if not try AAA Honda and Holden Wreckers [08 9459 3933], he had a teggy they were pulling apart and he could probably fit it for you.


for the cam seal order it through tegiwa will come within 10days im very happy with the seal i got for my b16 back in the day.

If you order it from hondapartsdirect.com it normally comes under two weeks and its trackable from pickup to delivery through USPS (USPS packages are contracted out to AusPost when they arrive in Australia).

That's providing they have the part on hand.

But if you need it more urgently as baby face has said try AAA Honda Parts, they're pretty good there.

Re: the prop valve, I tried AAA they didn't have one, will check with them when I'm back in perth.
