Anything to do with the cam oil seal recall? I don't know which seal was recalled, as I still haven't had it done yet (I hate other people working on my car}. I know that the intent is to install some sort of retainer to keep it from backing out.
I think you are talking about two different things. I think when you refer to the "oil" seal recall, you are talking about the balancer shaft seal recall which involved installing a retainer so the balancer shaft seal does not back out. When I took my car in for that recall, I was told it was a four hour job.
As for the STR cam seal that is the seal that is located on the distributor side of the engine near the VTEC solenoid. I also had that done - $30 for the part. I really had to have this replaced because I was leaking a lot of oil down the distributor side of my engine.

Mark94,
What's up?! Where did you have the cam seal replacement done? Did a Honda tech do it for you? I ordered mine from Summit Racing online, but I don't know who's going to do it for me when I get it.
