Wow that sucks. You can't actually see the cam seals unless the cam gears and no.2 timing cover are removed or unless you take off the no.1 bearing caps. I only assume the cam seals were replaced because the cams where out at the machine shop and the bearing caps have fresh packing material on them.
Now you got me paranoid.
Just for fun here's the list of parts I need at the moment to put it back together:
Timing belt and tensioner
ARP Head Bolts (Yep I changed my mind AGAIN)
NGK spark plugs
Fuel injector to head insulators
Fuel injector to fuel rail grommets
Auxiliary air pipe to vacuum transmiting pipe hose
No.6 water by-pass hose
Heater union to water by-pass pipe hose
Turbo oil pipe gaskets and sealing washers
No.1 fuel pipe sealing washers
Heater union sealing washers
Cold start injector gasket and sealing washers

When I dropped it off they told me $80-$100 max. $451 later now I'm broke with no downpipe and a head that still needs a little work. And I'm walking funny from having that pipe shoved up my .......
