A buddy of mine is buying an EJ22 for his brat. my question is what is a "cam seal"? the guy selling it said it would need a new one. im pretty motor savvy, but ive never heard of this. It needs new manifold gaskets as well, but i know how to do that. anyone know what "cam seals" are? thanks in advance!

 

Camshaft oil seal

 

ooooooooooooooo ok, the one between the pan and the block? ive never been good with terminology, thanks dude!

 

The seal that keeps the oil under the valve cover from getting into the timing belt case(through the camshaft bearings).
