Buy and replace #8 & #12, clean everything off again and recheck.

That's what I was gonna do replace the cam cap and vtec solenoid gasket as well

[ILIKETODRIVE]

While you're at it, get #14 and distributor o-ring as well. (BTW #8 is the cam cap seal thingy)

listen to ILIKETODRIVE

its a typical honda thing man .. well actually a car thing maintaining the gaskets in check.

In the corners where the VC gasket meets the cam caps, use a small amount of rtv. Notorious leak spot.

[IS-Frank]

I got that covered already....

LMFAO! Never read anywhere that he smokes tweak. But this had me rofl! ha

[taketurns]

Usually if someone says "dudes tweakin" it means hes smoking meth. Sorry for assuming, but it was a joke anyway.

[IS-Frank]

Yeah by me saying tweaking its meant by getting shit done staying up late like tweakers do....I have never done drugs ever in my life and will not ruin my life with drugs or anything couse I have a family and wouldn't want to hurt my kids or wife in any emotional way at all.....

I do not know where to find gaskets for my B-16 JDM engine. I need #12 and #14 gaskets now in your diagram. What is a good source? My local Honda dealer cannot find what to order because I cannot tell him what year and what car the engine was in.
Will appreciate help.
Thanks,
Lee

^ yep all B16 motors are the same as far as gaskets go. Many from a GSR will work also.
