ENG: F22 Spark Plug Tube Seal Replacement

[93 LX COUPE]

Great D.i.y.

i just did this to my car and no more oil in the spark plug tube. THANKS FOR THIS SITE AND THE PEOPLE ON IT we can do it ourselves. the whole entire job with a tune-up took about two hours taking my time and having one had occupied by a beer.

I didn't notice where the timing belt is..

Where did you put the timing belt? I'm going to try and do my car the same way but I wanted to know if you replace your timing belt or not? Did you put it down near the power steering pump side or did you rest it next to the cam gear?

i need to replace my lower seals, I replaced everything else a couple weeks ago but did get to do the lower ones because Im missing a couple tools.

Did this just now, and i took out the rocker arms without taking the timing belt off and the camshaft stayed in place. Tomorrow i just have to get a in-lb torque wrech and torque the bolts and do the valve clearance, overall its pretty easy and doable.

im a little bit confused with my feeler gauge cuz theres 2 numbers on one gauge, theres a 10/12 and 11/13 then 12/14. Do i use the 10/12 on the intake and 12/14 on the exhaust??

First off great job on a great DIY. Have read every post and have just one question. Is there any possibility that the timing belt can slip out of place at the bottom when I take it loose from the top to remove the rocker assembly?

[Shehzada]

It won't happen. But just to be safe.......Mark the belt and cam with some wite-out in three places. If it slips off.........then slide it back on the cam while aligning the 3 markers you made. Look at Post #32.

Cool. Gonna do this real soon. Need it bad.

bringing thread back!

so right now im doing this and i've loosened all the bolts on the rocker arm and im trying to remove it but just won't budge... ? the bolts i loosened were 10 and 12mm bolts.. any help getting this shit off?

[Freshagen]

nvm i got it.

Hey great writeup! I don't know if anyone caught this though--step 2 needs an edit by the OP "2- Place the number one piston (closest to the drivebelt end of the engine) at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke.
To do so, rotate the crankshaft pulley counterclockwise until the timing pointer on the block lines up with the TDC mark on the flywheel."

Of course you could pull this job off with the clockwise rotationas well if you know where TDC for cyl 1 falls in a backward rotation of the cylinder firing sequence.

Good thing this thread is still here. I will be doing this soon.

Okay, here's what I came up with:

This pic is showing the rocker arm assembly already taken off.

1 is where the lower tube seals go.
2 is the oil journal that usually causes the #2 plug tube to leak
3 is the cam seal



Now notice on the next pic, it shows:

1 is where the replacement tube seals go
2 are all the old plug tube seals that came off the rocker assembly. They shred very easily and will come out in a million little pieces. carefully use a flathead screwdriver to get the old pieces out. be thorough or the new seals won't fit right.
3 is the oil journal that causes the #2 plug tube to leak

*notice how the bolts are still in the rocker assembly so the same bolts go back into the same holes*


Hope that helps out some, guys.

Where are your pics? I wanted to see the cam seals and stuff.
Thanks.

I tried doing this last weekend and could not get the marks on the flywheel, cam, and distributor to line up saying it was at TDC for shit. I followed the Haynes manual and everything and none of it ever looked right.
