Before inserting the new oil seals into the respective seats of the camshafts, ensure there are no dirt residues, lubricate both the seat and the oil seal, and press them in until fully seated with a pad.

After installing the belt, rotate the crankshaft twice and check the alignment of the timing marks again.
