too much sealant

I had this on one of my rebuilds.

turned out to be too much sealant on the cam cover,
blocking the proper flow of oil which blew the
green plugs many times.

finally took the head cover off - -cleaned it up and sparingly
used sealant -- no problems since.

also you might want to pull the oil cover and check the
strain for sealant.

Green plug on camshaft pops out

I just finished replacing the camshaft solenoid on 1-3 side and everything works great except one of the dreaded green plugs keeps popping out.

What sealant works best on these plugs? Thanks!
