Default Cam seal leak

I got everything down pack but I'm confused on where to use the hondabond at I read on the o-ring then I read the crease inbetween the cam seal and the head, some say you dont even need to put any sealant...I'm lost on where to use it

So what to do,I'm using golden eagle 3 O-ring cam seal

All I did was put some oil on the o rings and put some sealant around the cam seal itself away from the o rings.

I don't think any sealant is needed with those.

I never use sealant with the aftermarket ones with multiple o-rings. They never seem to need it unlike the oem plastic one.

Yeah just a little bit of oil on the O-rings is good. I'd avoid using rtv on the O-rings but I put a little between the cam cap and the head and the corners of the vc.
