When assembling the engine, it is always advisable to use a new set of gaskets and oil seals to avoid unpleasant leaks after installation. The camshaft oil seal is quite strategic and it is important that it is installed correctly: thoroughly clean the oil seal area, generously lubricate both the seating and the oil seal with clean oil, then insert the oil seal with the lip facing inward and press it in until it is flush using the appropriate tool, being careful not to deform it; finally, install the timing belt pulley.
