[Shotimes] Camshaft Seal Leak Question

[Leigh Smith]

Yeah, the caps were RTV'd
I even put some on the seals before, but not this time.
I think it was the "generic" seals from the upper end rebuild set I bought
from Russ.
They just didn't fit well, they weren't tight enough.
The cam seals only had .010 interference fit, and the new FelPro ones had
.060.
They were so loose they would drip from the seal/cam interface with the
engine not even running!
He had another issue with that generic kit also, cause the fuel injector
seals were not even close to being correct, or enough of them.

94 MTX Good to go! (I hope)
