Note:
 

  • The large set is for spark plug tube seals.
  • The small set is for VCT solenoid seals.
  • The cup piece of each set is used on the inside (internal engine side) of the cam cover. The big cup will say "Tube Inside" and the small cup will say "VCT Inside".
  • The driver piece is used on the outside (external engine side) of the cam cover.
  • The big driver will say "Tube Outside" and the smaller driver will say "VCT Outside".
  • There will also be "Install Side" and "Remove Side" on each driver piece.
  • For good measure, please consider lightly coating the bolt threads with anti-seize.  This will help ensure continued use of the stainless steel nut and bolt.


When removing tube seals, you'll put the cup on the inside of the cam cover with the void facing the seal. The seal will press through the cover and into the receiving cup. You'll use the corresponding driver piece on the outside of the cam cover with the "Remove Side" wording facing inward (the seal). In this orientation, the driver has an extended reach to push the seal through the cam cover and into the cup. Run the bolt trough the driver set and be sure to use the washers as they spread the load. I like to do nut > washer > driver > seal > cup > washer > bolt. With the nut on the outside of the driver side (bolt run from the inside/cup side).

 

Installing is the exact same process, except, you use the install side of the driver. In this orientation, it has a shorter reach so that it bottoms out on the cam cover when the seal reaches the appropriate depth.

Please be aware that PLA, chosen for its optimal density for this specific tool, may not withstand high temperatures typically experienced inside vehicles during summer. While PLA is ideal for maintaining the necessary density, its relatively low glass transition temperature means prolonged exposure to heat could potentially lead to warpage. We advise storing the tool in a relatively cool environment to prevent any adverse effects.  Within a toolbox and shop should be fine, but within a closed car during summer would not.
