The cam pulleys might be made of plastic depending on the year of your car. If these are plastic, they are definitely brittle. |

If you can change the belts then the cam seals are not too much more trouble. The cams are not as brittle as some may lead you to believe. Just loosen the cam bearing caps a little at a time and you should have no trouble. You will have to remove the cam pulleys to get the seals off and reset the cam timing. Observe torque specs and do the rear head first since it is better and easier to get the experience on. |
