ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    newbie help

    okay i want to remove my valve cover so i can change the gasket and possibly put in a new cam seal... 1. where exactly is the cam seal is it on the timing belt side or the side where the dizzy is? 2. can i get to the seal by just taking the valve cover off?
    3. okay what kinda tool do i need for this job i used a regular 3/8" drive ratchet with a socket and the bolt wouldn't turn for shit...

    4. do i have to torque everything down if so to what lbs?

    5. the balance shaft seal i want to change also.. do i just take the timing belt cover off and slide in a new one?

        For the valve cover, you just need the proper sized socket. I forget the size, but it's a common one (10mm, maybe?)

        Remove the cover, replace the gasket, and use the proper sealant over the cam humps.

        The other tools listed in OptimusPrimeSr's post are for more involved work, like a valve adjustment.


        The cam seal is on the dizzy side, I believe (a quick look in one of my manuals would answer that for sure, but they're in my car... and it's 12:24am, snowing, and I have no shoes on )

        Balance shaft seal... I actually need to know that one myself! I have to do that before my motor croaks...
