Just wanted to know what is the torque for the reinstallation of the camshaft back to the head and also how to remove and change the valve seals if there are any specific tools required? Also is there any specific position when installing the camshaft?

I am attaching all the info for this. In short the valve stem seals are replaced by removing the springs and retaining clips and then the stem seals will slide off.

Below is the process for all this plus the torque for the bearing caps.

Let us know if you need more info. Thanks
