Today I decided to replace my leaky OEM cam seal but in the process I realized that I need to take the last part of the cam of witch has to bolts. So my question is what are the torque specs. for putting them back.

Ok, you can sneak cam seals out without ------- doing the whole timing belt like your suppose to.

-Bring the Engine to TDC
-Mark the Belt to the cam gear (with touchup paint or whatever)
-Now zip tie the belt to the cam gears (yes both of them) I use 4-6 zip ties.
-Now loosen the cam bolts (not sure if you have to take the intake cam gear off too, might have to. I usually just do them both.
-Now slide 1 gear off at a time, be VERY careful doing this so you dont drop the keyway down the front side of the engine.
-Now the gear is off replace the cam seal. Besure to clean the head real good where the seal is at.
-Lightly lube the inside of the cam seal
-Lightly put silicone on 2 sides of the seal
-Put the seal back into place, be sure the seal is sitting straight, & make sure the spring didnt pop off on the seal.
- Now re-install its a bit tricky

I am the master of doing this ----, because I hate doing timing belts, especially if ya got AC/PS.

Sounds kinda tricky but I will try to follow your guide-lines and hope for the best.


Thanks again.
