Install a new seal in the camshaft housing using the appropriate tool, such as the Opel KM-636. If you don't have such a tool, you can use a bushing with a diameter equal to the diameter of the seal. In addition, you will need a metal plate with two holes that match the diagonally located threaded holes on the camshaft housing. Install the seal as follows. Screw two bolts through the holes in the metal plate and the camshaft housing. Using the bushing, insert the seal, tightening the bolts evenly.
Caution! Before installing the camshaft housing, insert the centering bushings into the cylinder head.
Secure the camshaft housing cover with a new gasket. Clean the mesh in the cover first.
Install the ignition distributor.
Install the fuel pump (if it was removed) and tighten its mounting bolts to a torque of 18 Nm.
