Head gasket and camshaft oil seal replacement

Model: Vauxhall Kadet - Years 1984-1991
Part: Engine

Before inserting the new camshaft, lubricate it abundantly and then apply the external fixing plates; then proceed to insert the oil seal always after having lubricated it and pushing it as far as it will go in its seat. Then place the new cylinder head gasket and the cylinder head itself; lubricate the seats of the support pins of the valve lifter rocker arms and insert the new pins to then complete the assembly of the camshaft. Finally tighten the cylinder head using a series of new pins to be locked with a crossed pattern and using the torque wrench. Therefore, align the step marks before installing the timing belt.
