Thank you!

Thank you very much sir!

Thank you!

I am sorry for that because my camera ran out of battery. I was in a hurry that time and I need to finish the job as soon as I can. I've used a small flat head screwdriver to pry the oil seal off. Thank you for watching my video. :)

I know, the whole reason I looked at this stupid video was to see how he removed the seal without scoring the crank. worthless

Thank you very much!

You're welcome sir! 😀

Sorry for the late response sir. Thank you very much! Hopefully I can do it soon.

Thank you very much! I hope that you will find a good mechanic soon.

Procedures for this job is almost the same. D-series engines are pretty much identical. The only thing to look for is the oil seal and the crank pulley. I'm not sure if they have the same oil seal. Try to check it first since 1.5 and 1.6 differs in crankshaft and bearing size, so oil seals could differ. Double check for the parts code. For the crank pulley, non VTEC engines usually have holes on the crank pulley and just like mine, I was able to lock it with a steel wire. D16 engines usually have plain crank pulley which requires a special tool to lock it. It is like a socket that fits into the middle of the pulley. Other than that, everything is pretty much the same. There could be some small differences on the location and sizes of the bolts. Thank you so much man!! I hope this helps. Take care!

Thanks a lot man!

Hello! I understand that it is hard to determine whether the crank seal or the oil pan gasket is leaking. The first thing I would suggest you to do is to clean the area where the leak was. Then, start the car and let it idle. While the engine is running and something started leaking, then I would suspect that the crank seal is leaking because the engine is in motion. The crankshaft is continuously rotating, causing the crank seal to wear out and leak. When you turn off the engine, it will still leak but in a slow pace. If there is no leak, then test the car several times and check. There are times that the crank seal will only leak once you start driving because the oil seal is not that weared out. You will notice that the oil pan is wet with droplets and the tip of the timing cover between the crank pulley and oil pan is wet with oil. For the oil pan gasket leak, try to start the engine and let it idle. If nothing happens, then test the car several times and check it. When you drive your car, the engine creates pressure inside the crank case, which pushes the oil outside the gasket, creating a leak. You will notice after driving that a portion of bolts and nuts and the upper tip of the oil pan are wet with oil. If that's the case, then try to retighten the bolts and nuts first because it could stop it from leaking. But, most of the time, oil pan gaskets rarely leak and the crank seal usually leaks first. You will lose oil faster with a broken crank seal than a leaking oil pan gasket. I hope that this will help you out. Thank you very much. :)

@@DraftProject Deat I am so greatful for your expert view. You have given a practical solution. I will follow your advice. Thanks a lot.

@@1967Tariq Thank you very much and welcome. I hope you can share my channel to your friends too. :)

Hi sir! I would not recommend replacing the whole half block because you will need to change the engine code in the registration papers and it is not a good option in our current pandemic situation. The first thing I would suggest is to rethread the crankshaft threads which means you will use a rethreader tool to create a new threads inside the crankshaft and probably use a new bolt for that. You can also take the crankshaft to the machine shop to let them rethread it for you. The second option is to only buy a crankshaft for that, not a whole half block. There are some people who chopped their engine and sell every pieces. You can score for that and let your mechanic replace your crankshaft. I hope this helps you out. Thank you very much! I really appreciate your comment. I hope you can fix that problem soon. Take care and God Bless.

@@DraftProject i think i found the best teacher adviser interms of technical in the field of car mechanics. Your advice was highly appreciated. Since i am still in the progress of learning of my civic 96. My car still in good shape but it needs to rebuild again since it was with me for a long time. Anyway i will follow your advice.i am happy that you spare your time with me to answer such a very technical question. Keep posting more videos coz many people will learn for this channel. Thank You.

@@acewarren14 No problem sir! Willing to help anytime. Civics are great cars built for its quality and reliability. Take care and keep it well. Thank you very much for the support sir! God Bless!

I've used a replacement part called NOK oil seal. The code on the packaging was been erased. The oil seal itself has a code and it says BH2259E. I tried searching for the genuine Honda part and I hope this is the right one. Genuine Honda Part No. 91212-P01-003 Just to be sure, try to search and ask for that part no. first. Here is a link that could help you on finding the right parts. www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~oil~seal~91212-p01-003.html Thank you and I hope this helps you out! :)

Hi sir! Where did he put the silicon? On the inner or outer part? It is okay to put silicon on the outer part because that can help seal the housing especially if the metal has a deep scratch. The only thing that you should never put silicon is the inner part because that can ruin the seal when the crankshaft starts rotating. Also, make sure that it was replaced with a reputable brand new oil seal The leak could be somewhere else. Perhaps it could be from the camshaft oil seal. I suggest you to clean the area and check it again to see if where that leak is coming from. I hope this helps. Thank you sir!

Hello Manny Ramirez! First thing I would suggest you to do is to find out what engine you have in your car. Check the engine code on the engine block beneath the exhaust headers. You will determine there if it is a d13b, d15b, d16za6 and etc. These are only examples of Honda engine codes. Once you found out, check the engine code here and you will find the right size of crankshaft for your engine. I found this site, please check it here: crankshaftsupply.com/kits_honda.htm I also recommend you to make a bit of research just to be sure. I hope this helps you out and thank you very much and God Bless!

Thank you!

Sorry about that bro hahaha

@@DraftProject no problem, I'm just being funny 😆

@@Lifesituations8000 My bad, I didn't expect that hahahaha. You got me there lol

Hello StanceFilms, yes. The oil seal is lubricated with engine oil.

Hi sir! It would be from the water pump. The camshaft and crankshaft will only leak engine oil. If you found a leaking coolant in this section, check the water pump. Leaking coolant can be cause by two things. The first one is bad water pump seal or a loose bolt around the water pump.

Yes sir. 1999 Civics still have D series engines, so it is still applicable.

The convex or the curved side of the washer faces the sprocket and timing belt. The flat side of the washer faces the outside. The flat side of the inner washer faces the the engine block and the flat side of the outer washer faces the timing belt cover and the outer crankshaft pulley.

@@DraftProject God bless you. Thank you

Replacement NOK Oil Seal - BH2259E Genuine Honda Part No. 91212-P01-003 Just to be sure, try to search and ask for that part no. first. I hope this helps! Thank you:)

I just went through this nightmare with 2002 honda civic. in the Honda civic repair manual, it is called a "Crankshaft oil seal - pulley end" but stores moreso call it the crank shaft seal, and then they will either clarify it being front or rear (transmission is rear). So sorry if that doesnt answer your question. I just wouldnt trust anybody saying front seal, and hoping its a front crankshaft seal.

We don't use that term often. We just define it by camshaft or crankshaft oil seal. If it is front, surely it would be on the crankshaft. As Chrisok66 said, the rear will always be referred to the transmission side.

Hello! No, there is no need to put silicone unless the surface where the oil seal sits is damaged or has a deep scratch.

Hi sir, it is a PH12 engine equivalent to D12B equipped with Keihin Dual Carburetors from a D15B engine.

Sorry for that. Here is a response video for that. Oil seal removal video response: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OLG3SuZ70uM.html Hope this helps. Thank you and take care.

Hello there:) You still need to remove it or lift it because the timing belt cover has an edge that is inserted on the top cover.

@@DraftProject Hi, I think he meant to say that you don't need to _completely_ remove the valve-cover, you can just loosen the top bolts and lift it enough to pull the upper timing cover out from underneath the valve-cover.

@@FlowtnWitWalden Hello, yes and that is right. You can just lift it instead of removing it completely. Thank you for your response. :)

Hi! Can you please specify what part of the video that confuses you so that I can help you with it?

No need na po sir. Wala pong lalabas na oil dyan after niyo pong matanggal yung oil seal.

Sorry about that. Yeah, that is how it should be but I was in a hurry and on a tight budget during that time.

@@DraftProject thank you for replying to my comment. A small water bottle with diesel fuel with a hole in the cap works great for clean up. After the diesel cleaning spray it with an evaporative cleaner like brake cleaner or carburetor cleaner.

Excellent. Great advise. Thanks a lot! Take care.

I apologize for that. As a solution to that, I provided a clear video on how to remove an oil seal. Here is the link of the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OLG3SuZ70uM.html Thank you.

Hi sir! Probably it is the camshaft oil seal that you are referring about. The process that can be done is similar to this tutorial I've made. There is also an alternative way to do it but I do not recommend it. You can remove the camshaft sprocket without removing the crankshaft pulley and timing belt. Just make sure to rotate the crankshaft pulley to its TDC (top dead center) and mark the timing belt with the camshaft sprocket using a paint. Then remove the bolt and pull the sprocket. There you will gain access to the camshaft oil seal. Just remember when reinstalling the sprocket, be sure to be gentle and be careful when you align the camshaft sprocket back to the camshaft because there is a risk of stretching the timing belt because of applied tension. I've done it before and it works. Just be mindful of it and everything will work perfectly fine. If you are not comfortable doing this job, you can take it to your nearest trusted auto shop or get a trusted mechanic to do the job. Thank you very much sir for the support. Take care!
