Hey there,

B16A2 engine VTEC, DOTC 2000 Honda Civic SI

I was downstairs attempting to replace the cylinder head plug as I believe there is some oil coming from it. I already purchased the part, and cleaned everything off, baby powdered it up. All I need to know is:

1) Do I need to take off both camshaft holder plates to get to this or can i take the one off?
2) can i just unbolt the camshaft holder that the plug is on?

The Haynes and Helms manual only mention pictures or servicing the whole valve, rockers, etc. All i want to do is replace this plug, but leary I am going to screw something up.

 

you can just take the little cam cap off the plug and it should leave it exsposed

 

cam cap? so are u saying i can do this by pulling the plug out? I dont even need to have the cover off?

 

bolieve this is what you are looking for?

scrowl down until you see the blue letters of installation with the picture of a old and new(red) cam seal
