I did'nt no changing cam seals involve a timing light??

I thought I just had to take the valve cover off pop the end caps off the cams and put the new 1's on.

I dont know about the LS motor, but with a B16 its just those cam caps and teh seal is right under those. EASY as shit. that was the first "below the valve cover" repair I have ever done.

EDIT: I have never used a timing light to set my timgin EVER. I just set the cam and crank timing then, adjust the dist as I see fit. usually just put it back in teh original location. I have played with it a couple time and felt a lack of power or maybe a slight increase, but I was worried about pre-ignition so back to stock location for me

Do I have to unbolt my cams for this repair?? or mess up my timing?

nope. not at all. you take the bolts out of the cam caps then teh bolts out of teh cap at teh end (on top of the seal) and swap it right out. shouldnt take you more than literally 30 minutes. (including the application of hondabond)

Are you talking about the single cam plug at the end of the exhuast valve?
