Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Rate Thread How deep to drive cam seal? #1073140 07/18/14 10:52 PM Joined: Nov 2013 Posts: 94 Oregon G GrantCee OP Getting the Wheeling Fever Changing out the cam seals on the '97 Sport 3.0l engine. How deeply should the seal be driven? When I pulled the old one out it was almost to the edge of the tapered part of the head; when I put the new one in, I find it can easily be driven further. Do I drive until it seats, or ??? 1987 Montero SWB, 2.6L, 5spd Weber conversion 2-valve head from Engine Machine Service "4G54 FTW!" Re: How deep to drive cam seal?

The FSM isn't clear if it's driven only to a specific depth or until it hard seats! 1987 Montero SWB, 2.6L, 5spd Weber conversion 2-valve head from Engine Machine Service "4G54 FTW!"
