when replacing cam seals, do you use silicone?
Hey what up HT,
I got a stock LS motor and I have a strong feeling the camshaft seals are leaking. When installing the new ones should I go ahead apply silicone onto the new camshaft seal? What do you guys normally do? Thanks

Never used any kind of sealant with camshaft seals, and never had any problems with leaks. I've changed them twice on my car.
You DO need to use HondaBond or Permatex Ultra-Grey on the right-angle corners of the valve cover gasket. Do NOT use silicone!

+1 I used a few dabs around the cam caps.
