Oops... 700 1991

I said:

"...4-6 bolts from front), replace the gasket, carefully reinstall the housing..."

I meant to say: ...replace the seal....

Just order 2 cam seals. It's the same seal.

By "auxiliary shaft," I suspect you mean the intermediate shaft. The intermediate shaft and camshaft seals are the same item. You need one front crank seal, two cam seals, and probably also want the gasket for the front crank seal housing.

Think about replacing the timing belt and tensioner, too.

Think about a new water pump while you're in there.

Do some research on removing (and retorquing) the front pulley bolt.

"...you mean Crank Seal Cover Gasket?"

I suppose. The crankshaft front main seal sits in a small housing -- perhaps I'm not using the "official" name for it. It's FAR easier to remove the housing (two bolts from under, 4-6 bolts from front), replace the gasket, carefully reinstall the housing. You'll probably need a new gasket. I also use a very light touch of red RTV on the gasket. Others may have other opinions.

The auxiliary shaft seal is identical to the cam seal.

The front seal for the camshaft and the front seal for the I-shaft are....

....IDENTICAL.

Buy two cam seals.
