This is a very difficult procedure to do with the engine in the car & I would not attempt it unless it leaks alot. The engine must be secured @ TDC & the cams locked to the head before removing the cam cover. Sealing surfaces must be spotless & sanitary before appling sealant. Excess sealant can block oil passages. Mark oilpump to ensure it is reassembled in the same position, that's the only way it works. Most likely your cam tensioner wear pads need to be replaced so it would be good to do that while the cover is off but this requires removing the cams & retiming the cams during reassembly. :dance:
