When you take the cover off you have to remove the timing belt and cam gears to get to the front and rear cam seals.Also you will have to have 2 special tools that locate the cams in the position that they need to be so that they are timed with the pistons. NOTE THAT THIS POSITION FOR ALINEMENT IS NOT #1 AT T.D.C. ON THE FIRING STROKE LIKE OLDER RED MOTORS.The next tool that you need is 2 special press tools that screw into the plug holes that pull down the cover/cams evenly so there is no warp and the sealant is crushed evenly. The sealant is not any thing like red silicone.DO NOT USE THAT STUFF. You will be doing the job all over with oil leaking all over not just in one spot.I get cars in all the time from independents that try that stuff and it does not work. The good news is that the sealant is used for all applications on all "white motors" where a gasket is not used ,so say if you ever have to replace or take off the oil pan you will have the leftover stuff to do it. It lasts forever and will not dry up in the tube as it is some what like loctite in that it is anerobic.It is applied with a neoprene paint roller (or sponge rubber) you do not want to use a roller that may leave fibres or residue in the sealant. The position that the pistons and cams have to be in is the same one that you put the engine in if the t-belt was being changed so if you attempt this job,do that 1st.
