[V8] seals again

[dsaad@icehouse.net]

If you look at an exploded parts view of the heads, you will see lots of
gaskets, seals, and o-rings. If you are wanting to do a complete job you need to
identify all the parts and order them. The o-rings are dealer only. The seals
are pretty common. A common source for an oil leak is between the timing cover
back half and the head - the piece the cam seal mounts in.
The exploded diagram will answer all your questions - including the mystery
piece that came out with the oil pump seal.

If you don't have the E T K A, your friendly dealer will probably print off the
pages you need. There used to be a Russian site - but it does not work anymore.

btw, what does this piece look like?
