I have heard many things about this DYE. I have never seen it. I think it is like a phantom or something...

[speedfoos]

Thanks for tip, but gah I really don't want to pull the cam back out to put some goop in there to keep it from leaking. Will take a look at it tomorrow morning to see if I really have to, or if I can just wiggle that pass. end cap up a little and squirt some underneath. Rep again when I can!

if you weren't such a good weekend mecanic I'd say you'd be thousands in debt right now.

If you look at bottom picture to the left of the big goop of orange stuff right where the rocker assembly/cam holder meets the top of the head you want honda bond all around that edge that will probably stop the leek without having to pull the whole rocker assembly.

Sorry I would have put up pics but I can't find my stupid camera.

I will confirm that you do need RTV under the parts the hold the cam in on both sides of the engine. It says so in the honda manual

[bomerman19]

Stole my little brothers camera

[speedfoos]

Damn Honda manuals. Always being right.

If I was such a good mechanic I wouldn't be having all these little issues that bother the shit out of me. If I was smart I would have left the fucking Ebay CAI and DC shorty on there and just dreamt of boost instead of living it.

Thanks fellas. I'll crack the VC off tomorrow and have a look-see. Cuz if I remember right, to pop the cam out, that driver's side motor mount has to come off to get the upper timing cover off, which means, the PS pump comes off, plus the Ingalls Stiffy, and the PS bracket has a hard time clearing the wrap on my turbo mani.

Pain.

In.

The.

Ass.

Why are you still awake?

Go to bed and dream of large turbo numbers.

Then wake up to large turbo headaches. LOL

you don't have to pull the motor mount off to get the cam out. Lets see if I remember this correctly,
you can take the valve cover off,
untorque and loosen all the rocker arm assembly bolts,
rock the rocker arm assembly or go underneath it with a flathead screwdriver to pop it cause it tends to stick even after you have undone all the bolts,
once it is loose you can get under those spots with some hondabond,
grab the edge of the cam gear pull it all little to the passenger's side and press down on the rocker arm assembly to get it to seat,
then start torquing all the bolts back down the rocker assembly will fully seat it's self then just put the valve cover back on

You shouldn't have to even take off the side cam gear cover but if you need to you don't need to take off the motor mount
