On my daughter's 86 we removed the valve cover and the rear cam cap (2 nuts). Then we put in the new seal, put the cam cap back on, and replaced the valve cover. It was really easy. The old seal was already out, left on the road somewhere nearby. Crankcase pressure was fine. We never did know why the old seal fell out in the first place. We also installed one of those covers on the back of the head that IPD sells to prevent the new seal from coming out. Good luck.

If you mean the plug at the rear of the cam cover, you could do as my son did with his '88. He let the flame trap plug up and the crankcase pressure blew the seal out. This isn't recommended. To replace it we took off the cam cover and just laid the new one in place with a new cam cover gasket. On my daughter's '84 240 which has the half-round seal, I did the same but used a thin coating of RTV sealer on it. I don't know if there is a way to R & R these seals without taking the cam cover off, but I doubt there is.

Depends on several things; what year/engine are we talking about here?
