No.. i believe you do take them out. Seeing as how he said he bought two of them... seals that is.
there is only one cam plug, since the other side has a distributor on it.

Just take off the valve cover, take out the piece that holds the cam seal, clean the surface well, put a dab of hondabond on the new seal, then put everything back together.
I did the same thing a while ago, and no leaks so far. Might wanna replace the valve cover gasket, and the spark plug hole grommet thingy while you are at it.
by the way, why did you purchase two?

:
: on you! The seal you are talking about is the cam plug. The cam seals come in TWO (2) and you need to take out the camshafts to install them. THE CAM PLUG on the other hand (see picture of STR cam plug above, is the one neareast the distributor.

I bought a billett one for mine, it looks tight. I was told that this seal leak was a common problem. the billet is supposed to last alot longer. just remove your valve cover and the two bolts holding down the cam seal.
