    I need to replace the cam seals on my 2005 Access Cab V-8. I did a search but somehow I'm not seeing info or links to video on how to do this.

    If anyone could point me toward a link or video, I would appreciate it.

    You’ll want the FSM. It’s free to download, linked from the sticky community megathread.

    IMPORTANT: DO NOT miss the point about installing the service bolt. I can hand you a 2-dozen page thread of someone pulling their hair out trying to figure out a timing issue, and it all traced back to him failing to install the service bolt to hold things in place while doing the seals.

    Meanwhile, be sure you confirm it’s actually the cam seals (since valve cover leaks are far more common), and if also share that

    AT-205 quelled my bank 1 cam seal leak after 200-300 miles of application, now I no longer need to do the cam seals. $20 saved me a hell of a lot of pain and $$.
