well when i jack my car to change my catalist system ( see other post ) i saw oil under the car near of the oil pan area, the mechanician told me that my cam seal ( the nearest of the passager ) is leaking

i call at the dealer and the price is about 14$ each
my question is
Is someone did that previously on their ES?
i have a 97 with 240 000 KM about 150 000 miles

 

wow im so popular on this forum i almost never get a answer only a few views

well thanks guys

 

well you gotta wait more htan 24 hours

the main pita of crank and cam seals is that its a lot of disassembly+labor to get to them. best bet is to change them all when u do a TB.

 

Youll have to remove the timing belt, the rback cover and the cam sprockets. Then pry out the seals but dont gouge anything. Be careful. Then just tap the new ones in with a socket that fits and put everything back together.

 

hey big thanks boys

my timing belt have 10K kilometers about 6 miles
the guy who had it before just change the TB

well anyone got info/picture or a DIY procedure??

 

Thanks! I know old thread but beats starting a new one! Wasn't sure if a specai tool was needed to install them.

Anyone know what section in the FSM the procedure is listed? I've been through all the EM sections without finding anything.
