Rear cam seal installation........how is it done the right way......

[bandit67]

Guys, got my cam bearing installed and went to install the rear plugs and seal before getting the 318 on the engine stand. I have never seen the concave cam plug like the one in my kit.  It has no lip as do GM plugs.  I used  Form A Gaskit around the back lip, put the plug in with the concave bowed out and hammered the concave flat in the center. Is this correct........as it seemed to seal.  Geezzzzz, I hate leaks.......J

That's how it's done, I always add some external RTV for good measure.

Thanks for the reply , John. I may not have my engine run stand done in time and may have to "test" the seal in the car.......J
