cam seal leak?!

[AnthonyRounds]

Okay, I have a 94 gs, i noticed i was using oil. so i started to look around and saw that my cam gear seals are leaking. i have a buddy that owns a DSM shop. but he still wants like 400 to do it. is there anything i can do, besides dump $4-500 to do the job?! pm me or comment

If u do the work yourself u save about $370.. OEM seals are like 30$ and if u are mechanically inclined you can do the job in 3hrs give or take. Personally I would do it myself.. If you do infact do the cam seals yourself then I would make sure u understand how to do the timing belt correctly. Pretty simple to do but most people make it more complicated. Save yourself the fees at the shop and learn about your DSM

If you don't feel comfortable doing the timing belt then I recommend someone who does as your 4g63 is also a interference motor. meaning valves can tap if the timing is off and then it gets costly

I know how, its just the timing part. and thats the killer. but i dont have to money to drop 500 on it. plus I already have the seals and the tool to take off the timing belt

VFAQ

Click on "Engine" at the top and under "Timing Belt" it explains how to do a 1G T (turbo), 2G T, and 2G NT. If it is for the 1G NT on your profile, I'm not sure if that is different or not than the 2G NT.
