Cam Seal leaking like crazy...AGAIN
Ok so lastnight Phil, levnubhin, and I changed out a leake cam seal that ive had. Both times I used an oem seal so I dont know what the hell is going on. This morning, its pouring out like a faucet. the surfaces to the head itself there the seal goes into do not look like they have any gouges or abrasions. Its only on the drivers side seal thats going this. HELP

Not pressing it in square to the bore.
Installing it backwards
Not lubing the seal before install
Not polishing the cam where the seal touches the cam
You have a groove wore into the cam and are pressing the seal in and it's landing on that grove. (in which case just don't push the seal in quite all the way as to avoid the groove.)
There, I didn't want to waste my time typing that, but I did. Lazy ****.

Exactly. You'd pretty much have to be a dumbass not to get it right the first time. But you say you've done it multiple times and it's still leaking. So I asked you to explain how you did it as perhaps you are doing it wrong. Like:
Not pressing it in square to the bore.
Installing it backwards
Not lubing the seal before install
Not polishing the cam where the seal touches the cam
You have a groove wore into the cam and are pressing the seal in and it's landing on that grove. (in which case just don't push the seal in quite all the way as to avoid the groove.)
