How do I get the rubber cam plugs out???
I'm trying to get the upper cam plugs out. Do they screw out or pry out?
What kind of seal is behind it? Thanks Jeff |

I think mine might be leaking. Can I just pop them out and put a thin coat of RTV on it and pop them back in?

I am about to change mine (hurry up DHL!!!) the drivers side is leaking, the passenger side is dry, changing it anyway. Changed the crank/oil pump seal today, that seal was a job to get out. Is the oil pump O ring the one at the lower passenger side of the oil passages? It's about the dia. of a quarter.

The oil pump oring is the only oring when you take off the oil pump. All of the ones I have seen are blue. It is on the lower left.
I wanted to get mine back together tonight, so i'll try the rtv. |

Here's a "heads up" for you, the passenger side is the "right" side, "left" is driver side. I know when you look at the front of the engine that O ring is on the left, but that's the right side. This is how the SM describe the sides, so if you're standing in front of the engine the left is on the right

That was me responding on Subbyru's computer...
I probably had them in place for about a year with no problems for about a year before I had to pull the engine apart for a head gasket job. When I did the HG's I used new plugs.
