I'm rebuilding my SOHC 2.5i '06 outback with new HG, timing, seal... the works. I'm a little confused with the positioning of the cam seals. I've talked to the parts guy at Subaru and he tells me that just to keep the cam seals flush with cylinder head which is what i did in the picture below with the bolt in the cam. The other picture without the bolt is the original position when i took off the motor. Its more sunk in a bit.
Can someone help clarify which is the correct position? I just don't the seal to leak or restrict oil flow if I push it too far in, thanks.
