yes you need to take the cams out
if you did it you self the seals would only cost a fdw bucks
to pay some one to do it right. pull the cams out retorque everythting and do a valve adjustment it probably would cost close to $200

I didn't have to take out the cams.. I just pulled out the cam gears and push it in.. worked great.

no you dont need to take the cams out.. take the valve cover off and the cam cap, take out the seal, put the new one in and torque the cap and valve cover down

the end cap by the vtec solenoid is easy to replace. remove valve cover, remove the cam cap and install the seal. the put everything back on. i should take around. 10-20 mins
