My cam seal leaks a little bit and does that, My head gasket had a slight leak but it seems to have stopped after I re-torqued the head like Dylan (Samurai blue) told me to.

Judging from that first pic that definitely looks like a cam seal.

Thank you sir! Any info on price to fix that?

Freaking rediculous. I've been trying to get this oil filter on for like 30 minutes now and it won't go the fuck on! It's the right oil filter and everything I don't understand one bit. I could change a timing belt faster than I can change my damn oil. WHY WON'T IT GO ON

Stop, Go inside, Get a drink, Sit down, Watch 20-30 minutes worth of youtube videos or whatever you prefer, Go back outside, It will go on perfectly first try.

Oh yeah, Went and tried to get filter on again. Wouldn't do shit. I googled the part number again and it literally was the right part number and everything, suppose to work for the motor it was going on. Went and bought another oil filter different brand (Which I really didn't want to) It went right on. Hopefully o reilly's takes the other one back since I had oil on it

I took it back to O reilly's and they gave me another one of the same filter. They said it's the right one and gave me another one. Lol. I already had put another fram on it so i'll try it next oil change see if it'll work maybe it was a manufacturer fail on that certain filter I had. Did a compression test on the civic just now and numbers came out as 200/175/195/200. Wonder why cylinder 2 is less

Valves? I know that's what's wrong with my car, Put #2 a TDC and run compressed air to it and see if you hear anything. Or a leak down test, lol

Yeah I don't have a leakdown tester yet, I just bought the compression tester like a week ago. I should have put oil on the piston to see if it raised compression that'd tell me if it's the rings but forgot to try it.

Edit: R13 I almost bought a 2007 RMZ250F for $1800 looked brand new stock exhaust and everything. He said someone was going to look at it and I could get it if that guy didn't get it but the guy bought it. Lol

You can run compressed air through the compression tester hose just remove the schrader valve, I don't have a leakdown tester either but I can hear that my exhaust valve is burned out.

How can you hear if a valve is burned out? Would it cause a small misfire in the exhaust? Cause it has a misfire for sure you can hear it no matter what at idle

Place the piston your running air to at TDC hook up the air, Open the oil cap and listen through the valve cover (For piston rings), Open the throttle body and listen (intake valve) and listen at the exhaust tip (exhaust valve), If you hear air rushing in any of those places then that will tell you where the problem is, My #2 cylinder used to just misfire but it recently stopped working all together so I did that to find my exhaust valve is just letting a f*** load of air through it, I don't know if that tells you it's "burned out" but my car had a ghetto nitrous hook up when I got it so that pretty much tells me there's a high chance it's burned out.

Lol I googled how do you know if you have a burned valve, Someone on a forum posted a redneck trick to find out easily and said if you put a dollar bill up to your exhaust and if it tries to suck your dollar bill in your got a burnt valve, My exhaust like pushes the dollar bill away and than tries to eat it. Guess it's a burnt valve huh

edit: So apparently when you put a dollar bill to the exhaust tip it should always blow it away from the exhaust but if you got a burnt valve it'll cause a misfire and pull the dollar bill in when that cylinder fires with the burnt valve. And so that's why my car misfires and pulls the dollar bill in when it misfires?
