Seals in. Fair bit simpler than the crank seals. Care must be taken of course removing the old seal but was able to pry it out with a screw driver resting on a small piece of body metal to protect the aluminum housing. Put the new seal in the freezer overnight, started it square using a large socket almost the size of the opening and lightly tapped it in square. Set it to the same depth as the original, about 3/16 of an inch in. There is an oil galley port just inboard of that so you don’t want to put the seal in too far and cover that. Did this with the cam out cause it would have been very challenging to tap it in otherwise and finally found mention of it in Wayne’s book and seems to be installed with cams not yet in permanently. Heads are on the housing now, cams are in and rotating smoothly. A good afternoon.
