Re: [tech] Oil Pan and Cam Shaft Gaskets

["Sam Lorenzelli" <sam@wyenet.net>]

Gaskets are easy, camshaft cover needs detaching from air boxes or whatever
you have and then lifting off the cover after removing about eight 10mm
nuts. The actual cam shaft oil seal is harder to do as you must remove the
shaft which means removing the timing belt - however, ALL of this can be
done with engine in car.

Sump (UK for oil pan - doh) gasket just needs oil draining first and the car
jacked well up in the air. It's simply a cover, but you need to remove all
trace of the old gasket as it will be very hard like plastic.
