    1990 honda civic 160k Lx 4 door
    I know about the spark plug seals at the top, I had them replaced
    (myself using honda seals)
    yet in the middle of the chamber, there is a another set of o rings ..
    3 bucks each at the dealer right?
    I discovered the leak when I had the head gasket off and was about to
    do a valve adjustment.
    I hear I need to take off the rocker arms?
    I am looking for the way to do it myself
    any help would useful

    See the discussion at site
    http://home.earthlink.net/~honda.lioness/id3.html .

    The whole rocker arm assembly lifts off.

    I replaced these lower O-rings about 1.5 years ago on my
    1991 Civic. No more oil in the tubes. :)

    I discovered Honda even has a TSB on that very subject (91-018). Their
    solution? Just what you did.
