I'm trying to finish up installing the head and I'm in a pickle. I got these two seals in my gasket set. I assume one is for the oil pump, which leaves one left. ![]() It fits nicely in the front of the cam, seal it up. ![]() How do I seal the rear of the cam? ![]() Also, what does this bigger O-ring go to?

O-ring is for the pipe on the back of the motor behind the water pump. Sealing the rear of the cam are the distributor gaskets. Edited by Bjetmech, Aug 29 2014, 06:56 PM.

The distributor side seal is in the distributor so do not worry about it. You might want to read this http://geometroforum.com/topic/5053891/2/#new and learn about the small oil passage that you do not want to restrict with sealant but you do need to seal under the number one cam cap to prevent an oil leak. |

It's hard to tell from the picture, but it appears your Cam Oil Seal may be pressed in too far. Not following the FSM instructions to install the seal flush and blocking off the oil passage (groove) behind the seal with the seal itself and/or sealant seems to be a likely suspect for causing oil leaks.
