Could be a good time to replace your studs too. And beware, there was a whole batch of junk non-stock cam chain tensioners that were being sold recently. The lesson learned by many members who used them was to spend the few dollars more and buy true, stock Honda tensioners.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

ouch.. I feel pain in my heart...

CMSNL and David Silver is places where I buy stuff for honda.

Other things to do is blast and clean engine all over with soda and paint it better.

When putting engine back in business thank god we have a Hackaweek on youtube. I've watched those clips several times and learn lot of tips, and need to watch couple more time.

okay.. here is the reason why I take engine to the table again and where oil leaks

There is previous owners Einstein idea in cylinder head. They had try to cover those holes with something black silicone or something else s***t. I put loctite in previous time when engine was open but I don't understand how this silicone haven't get off earlier when sodablasted the engine.. Anyways.. Because I need to take cylinder head off, it's better to do bigger service to engine.

So.. need to do this time:
-Cam chain + tensioner
-Primary chains + tensioner
-all seals and gaskets
-sodablast and paint

Finally ordered some parts. Camchain, primary chains with tensioner and oil seals. With these I can finish the lower case.
