cam seal leak help
ok I personally would follow this: http://importnut.net/STRseal.htm
but my dad is insisting that we heat up the cam seal, than pry the old one out and when the new cam seal is hot enough it will stick right in(using an OEM one for a '94)...to me it sounds like a very stupid idea but he says thats the way to do it..soo i dont want any damage done to my gsr motor

Never let your dad touch or drive your car again, lol.
Do yourself a favor, buy a Haynes manual for your car, they are less than $20 and at most autoparts stores. This manual will give you step by step instructions on most repairs needed and even engine rebuilding. Even if you know how to work on cars, this manual will give you the torque specs for every bolt on the car.
There is a write-up somewhere, do a search on cam seal, sometimes refered to as 'end plug'. It isn't that hard to pull the valve cover and exhaust cam plate, then the seal is held in place by the last cam holder.
