Got a question about these variable cam spit washers , can someone tell where they go? I'm thinking under the front cam caps?
Thanks

More Questions!
To those that have done this before can you Please tell me where these seals go.. I know where the Crankshaft seal goes but there is also 3 other smaller ones...
The XR81139 is the very narrow o-ring that goes inside the harmonic balancer. (item #2 in the above image)
The KSC145624 is i believe only for the earlier A26 style timing cover and/or the SC engines without VVTs, (Item #5 in the above image) I don't believe it is used on your NA A27 motor.
The KSH108624...............is listed as the engine oil dipstick seal (item 22 in the above image)

Thank you CK...
Almost ready to start taking the intake off..
What Fun this has become....ugh!
LOL, it will all be worth it in the end. Don't forget that intake manifold walk-thru that I posted, and be sure to replace the feed and return heater hoses while you are under there, as well as the notorious 3-way connector. Be sure to retain the original self-clamping hose clips on the heater hoses as they are inaccessible afterwards and cannot be checked for tightness like regular screw-type hose clamps.
Pity you are so far away because we could have a celebratory beer over this when it is all done!
Hey Highhorse / CK
Are you saying your a Redneck country guy...
I grew up in the Bronx Stupidity bought me up here... ( Looking for that so called better life )
Had enough of that doggie doggie life, Everyone looking to screw the next person over just to get ahead... Dont get me wrong I miss living and working in NYC I miss the Food and Normal size women..Oh and the pay scale.
Boy was I far off the mark with that idea. .lol
Well this is where I'm at with looking for good Jack stand locations to work safely on the Wheel studs and Brakes
What a mess.

Yeah ..
Made me scratch my head I wonder how did I get here!
From a misfire that seem to go away for a while after cleaning out the oil from the sparkplug wells to this... I knew the cam covers needed a new seal kit. . Ez ez job....
Oh well gone this far I guess I'll keep going and see where it leads.
Yeah, grew up around 3 farms....worked them all, shot and killed about every animal around in the hills. Joined the AF to get away and travel and I get stuck in Minot ND my whole tour, ...damn that place sucks.
Sorry to say to ya, I really despise Manhattan and the surrounding area, everything is taxed to death and nothing gets fixed, ...plus I'm not a fan of Unions. Love going out on LI and taking the fairy out of the Point over to New London.
I can say your way more mechanically inclined than any NYC'er I've come across. Most cry simply about driving.
Well I learned from my Cuban mother and Italian dad . Before you pay someone to fix anything try and figure it yourself.
I always enjoyed working on cars and everything else that was my therapy.
I guess if your born and live in a big city you just get use to it . It was my home.
As far as taxes they are no different than here in upstate NY expect the pay was 2x+ better working in the city...
Live and learn....
I been trying doesn't look like it wouldn't take much to break it or ruin it..
Maybe in a little bit I try a little heat , the normal areas of using a piece of 10 gauge wire or 2 small screwdrivers just isn't working.
unless there is a 3rd spot I don't see to pry up on.... ill keep at it....
