Why This Seal Matters:

The rear cam plug seal is located at the back of the camshaft where it exits the cylinder head. This seal prevents engine oil from leaking out of the cylinder head at the rear camshaft position. Over time, these seals can harden, crack, or deteriorate from heat and oil exposure, leading to oil leaks that can drip onto the transmission or create a mess in the engine bay.

Replacing this seal is essential maintenance during valve cover removal, cylinder head work, or when addressing oil leaks. Using a genuine Honda seal ensures proper fitment and long-lasting sealing performance, preventing recurring leaks that are common with inferior aftermarket seals.

Installation Note: Replace whenever the valve cover is removed or during cylinder head service. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly before installation. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the seal before fitting for easier installation and better initial sealing.
