    Hey guys

    Replacing the cam seals, do the new ones go on dry or oiled? Oiled will go on easier but do either methods affect the sealing of the seal to the cam?

    When I've replaced mine in all my cars i just oil the inner lip, and put a thin bead of rtv on the outer ring just to be safe.. No leaks.

    I always oil the insides as above. Don't bother with rtv.
