When the timing cover is offered over the end of the camshaft, the oil seal at the contact breaker housing must pass over the large diameter of the camshaft. This invariably causes damage to the pressure lip of the seal. A special tool is provided in the tool kit to screw into the end of the camshaft and guide the seal home without damage.
ACTION:
Screw the service tool into the end of the camshaft, finger tight, before the timing cover is offered up. Smear the tool taper with clean oil and push the cover gently into, place so that the seal slides easily over the tool and onto the camshaft. The tool has a screwdriver slot and can be removed simply at this stage
