I would have to say that I've seen more leaking valve covers than cam seals myself.


IIRC, there are two concerns in the area where the packing is used: the seam between timing plate and block and the lower clamping force between head and timing plate due to the low area for the mating surfaces.... Always seemed odd to me that it would leak as bad as it does there though.

Sorry cre for the repeat question, when I said “I've done it enough times” I was referring to re-fitting the head not the camshaft seals. “What exactly is this sealing?”
