How many cam seals do I need?
Hey guys,

Sorry for the noobish question but I'm getting ready to install cams in the next week or two. How many cam seals do I need to get? Also, does anyone know the part number for the cam seals?

TIA!

I've had cams installed and they didn't use any cam seals. Are you referring to the sealant that goes around the block?

They only cost a couple bucks, and it's a good idea if the car has some miles on it.
