i just have a quick question when i put the new cam seals in am i putting them in the the flat side of the seal towards the inside of the head or the timing belt and do i use rtv on just the cam caps or on the other half also?

Flat side does not face the inside of the head... faces the fender

You "can" use RTV but ive never had a problem with just a new seal by itself

and the RTV goes on the OD of seal, not inside.

OD = Outside Diameter
