I am replacing my vc gasket and everyone is telling me to replace the cam adjuster seals too, what are those? can someone send me a pic? maybe a link where i can get them? are they expensive? My previous problem was because ECS sent me the wrong part!! anyways, what do you guys clean out the vc with? mine is pretty damn dirty on a 2.8L

Somewhat more difficult than the valve cover gaskets but a common oil leak (in addition to the valve cover gaskets).
You need the cam tensioner tool to replace the gaskets.

I did my valve cover gaskets and six months later my tensioner seals blew out and left me stranded.
