If the cam towers are in good shape RSR seals are not necessary. That said, they don't hurt.
Lube the o-ring with your favorite lube (my preference is well documented and proven) and tighten to 180 inch pounds. It generally takes two allen tools for this (we have special tools for this). If the cam tower is still in good shape this should suffice. Once the 180 inch/lb mark is reach, try turning the shaft with just one wrench. If the shaft rotates there is a chance that the rocker shaft was overtightened by a previous "expert" so the bore is now enlarged. At this point you can tighten the shaft until it stops rotating or replace the cam tower.
