You dont mention removing the removing the valve cover or "bearing cap", can the cam seal be replaced without removing those two items(would be nice)?

you ABSOLUTELY do not need to remove anything other than the pulley.


Second you suggest using the old seal to push in the new, I have the OEM tool, does the old seal work better/easier?


if you have the opem tool by all means use it i do not and have to improvise.

Actually here's a third, you recommend putting the new seal in the freezer, wouldn't the smaller resulting diameter make it a tighter fit on the cam?

do not over think it. trust me it works. the cold seal will be effortless to install on the cam shaft. just make sure you oil thoroughly the seal on all surfaces ANFD the cam shaft and seal carrier. you DO NOT want to start an engine with dry as a bone seal and dry as a bone carrier and cam shaft surface. you will wear the new seal hugely in the first minute of running.
