Hi all, I have had an issue of an oil leak (not a lot but like a few drops per day?) anyways, I saw that the Head gasket area are filled with oil so i figure its time to change the Head gasket, at the same time, i'm going to change the Timing belt (water pump etc). The question i have is... should i also "change" the cam seal? (just incase this might be part of the leak source), or is the Cam seal a completely different job then the head gasket,t-belt and so forth.....any comment would help. thanks in advance!

you will also want to refresh the head, pressure tested, valves and seats reground, valve guides checked and seals replaced, head resurfaced, intake and exhaust gaskets, TB, water pump.
*dont use the victor reinz headgasket or bolts, but the rest of their gaskets are good.
replace the oil and get BMW coolant and 2 gallons of distilled water. make sure you follow proper bleeding procedure when finishing the engine.Much wow

the cam seal is one of those (while ur in there) things. simple job. just did mine and the hardest thing was getting the old one out. the new one i just used a 38mm socket as a punch and just tapped it in. there is also an o-ring that goes in there too. don't forget that.
one thing to do is loosen the cam gear bolt before you take the old belt off. you don't want to take the chance of banging your pistons into your valves if you turn the cam while the belt is off.sigpicComment
