Leaking front cam seal of 1989 740 16 Valve

Hi, just quickly - does anyone have any links to a guide or help for changing a front cam seal on a 16 Valve 740? It looks like I will have to actually tilt the engine up towards the front and take off the timing belt, but I'm anxious to find out if there's any must have info. Thanks!

There is some information at: swedishbricks. Scroll down to find cam seal replacement. Although it appears to be aimed at the 8 valve engine I have checked the book and the method is exactly the same for the 16 valve, but double the work if you are replacing both seals.

I don't see why you would need to tilt the engine as this isn't in any of the instructions I have read.

Bill.

Well that's a relief! Thanks for the reply, if there are any unexpected turns I'll be sure to note it here.
