When everyone has done there cam install have they replaced the seals or just reused the ones in it.

I guess you could reuse your cam seals if they have low mileage and show no visible damage, but why take a chance? I just went ahead and put in new cam seals when I did my cam change last summer. They're not that much $ and it's cheap insurance against leaks IMHO.

Plus 1 also there cheap from Advanced or Auto zone. Just get the Felpro ones and they work fine. I've got them in mine and no leaks.

I didn't know the auto store has them. Are they engine specific?

Both of my cam installs I have gotten new seals. IMHO I would change them everytime, but thats just me. I got the felpro ones in this time and I actually like them more than the OEM ones.

*"Three months later"*
So I went to Autozone looking for the felpros and they don't have them. It is showing up in their system but they said they can't get it anymore. WTH?

Just pick them up from the dealer.. They're like 13-15 bucks.
