- Sun Feb 20, 2011 9:36 pm #239900 i just changed the head gasket on my b16a sir engine. when putting it all back together i used all new honda seals and gaskets for everything, i just got a b16a gasket kit. its all running fine now apart from the cam seals next to the pulleys and timming belt, there leaking oil. like i said there brand new seals but b16a ones. its itr cams i have fitted tho so do they need differnt seals to the standard b16a cam seals?

- Sun Feb 20, 2011 11:28 pm #239911 Cam seal is on the left side next to ur vtec solinoid not the right side....u might be leaking from ur valve cover gasket sense its near ur pulleys and ur timming belt...

OP, get yourself pair of cam seals for an ITR just to make sure. The heads are identical between the B16A and B18C5 spare for the port work done from the factory in the B18C5. In theory, the seals should be the same for all B-series engines, but I don't know part numbers off the top of my head.
