Having never done the camshaft seals on this car, I may be blowing smoke but just thinking out loud...

It would seem that the camshaft must be removed from the vehicle to replace the seal...is that correct? If so, then the real dilemma becomes making sure the camshaft is reinstalled exactly as it was installed prior to removal. Thus, there would be two alignments that must be done...the sprocket to the camshaft (as I think you are planning to do exactly correct, imho) BUT also, the camshaft to the engine head (for lack of a better description). If my assumption is correct (about camshaft removal required for camshaft seal installation) then this alignment would be critical. In other words, couldn't the sprocket be reinstalled perfectly, yet the camshaft be out of time aregardless, if it is not put exactly back in the same position it was prior to disassembly?

Are you working on the B5254T engine, btw? I can provide you with head blow-ups and part lists if you tell me the engine model it is and if they would assist you in some way.
