P1325 & green rubber plastic bits in the oil - Is the end near?

[Smallblock454]

Hello,

chain ramp plastic is brown or ivory, not green. This green rubber is coming from valve stem seals (4).

Don't know if there is enough room to change them when engine is in the car. You have to remove the camshafts and hydros to get to the valves. Than you'll need a special plier tool to press down the valves so you can remove the valve collect (1). Than you can remove the spring (3) to get to the valve stem seals. And than replace them.

Your diagrams don't show whats inside the cam adjusters.. or what color it is.

Used valve stem seals are NEVER that color of the new one posted.

This engine has a failing cam adjuster, as evidenced by the debris, and the tell- all code that the engine just experienced.

Thank You Jake. Do you know what part i need to replace as in when I call the dealership or an independent mechanic? Do I just ask them i need to replace my engine's cam adjusters or chain tensioners? Do I need those things below or what part needs replacing?
