white4d96 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 One thing you will want to get is a tube of this sealant called Hondabond. You can get it at a dealership I believe. You'll be putting a dab of this on the cam seals when you put the valve cover back on the head. B-series engines are notorious for leaking oil at the cam seals and this is one way to fix it. (you MIGHT be able to use liquid gasket or something similar but I've never seen or heard of anything other than Hondabond being used) Quote Too many projects, too little time...

Should only be a few bucks. Just get everything new from Honda. Spend the few extra dollars but never have to worry about a thing Oh and yeah put tape on each plug wire and number them if it's your first time. They should be in order from shortest to longest but better safe then sorry! Quote 2001 Tahoe.

JBERK Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Make sure the bolts are torqued to the proper spec to, you can undertighten or overtighten things pretty easily and create uneven pressure points allowing oil to leak where it's not sealed as tight. You'll need a torque wrench to make sure everything is tightened properly. A Hanes manual will have this information readily available.
