Thanks, its no where near timing belt time, but I already have all of the
belts and covers off so that I could check timing for this problem. SOOO
since there is a visible leak from one of the camshafts figure I might as
well change the seal.
OK so after I pull the timing belt, pull the valve cover, and remove the
spockets. Will the seals come right out or is there anything else I need to
do?

You might be able to get them out without pulling the camshafts, but the
only time I've done them is with the cams off. That's going to require
removing the camshaft bearing caps. The cams and bearing caps should be
labled as to what goes where, but it doesn't help to actually note them
before re-assembly. There is a torque order when putting them back on.
Also, you don't want to over torque and have to helicoil the bolt holes for
the bearings.
I can post line drawings if you need.

Thanks, I have a Chilton's and it has the sequence and torque specs. I was
just hoping that I could replace the seals without pulling the cams....
It looks like the biggest problem might be trying to get the RTV in without
having the cams out.
What type of RTV should I use?

Removing the cams is not hard. You should hit Ebay for a manual CD Chilton's
really sucks.

OK I changed the camshaft seals this weekend - MAN those sprocket bolts were
tough! and yes I had to pull the cams.
Any tips on getting the main crankshaft seal out?
I am assuming - that the center of the sprocket on the crank (female 1/2
square drive) is a nut that comes out - correct?

here's a better link for you, same site just the whole directory

The manual is not very clear but I can figure it out thanks.....

It's a scan of the factory service manual.
The square nut you mention is actually a bolt. You might want an impact for
that, it is 100lb/ft....
The seals are behind the flywheel and in the front cover.
It can be done in-car but is much easier if you pull the motor.
Do you have a leak? I have never had a problem here.

No leak - my leak was from the camshaft seals.
Just thought that since I had the front of the motor off, I would change all
oil seals. Balance shaft, oil pump and Front main. That is why I was
asking you, it sounds as though you have done this before, I was trying to
assess how difficult and if it was worth it........
