Does the TP have the water pump pulley attached to the camshaft (left side as you look at it)?

yes i sure does and to solve that prob you put the old seal in backwards and the new seal in forwards with heaps of siicon then tighten the rocker shaft .

.thats when i lost my hydrualic tappet and now cant find it << I ish an IDIOT

no the oil leak i notice is comming from the area where a cam fuel pump would be bolted
now the EFI gasket I THOUGHT covered that

THE INTAKE GASKET OF THE EFI DOESNT COVER THE PETROL PUMP HOLE JUST METAL TO METAL
SO THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE INTAKE GASKET AND THAT IS WHERE THE LEAK IS no gasket in the set to fix that bit and im not going to take off the intake mainfold
!!****######
more silicon and tightened the nuts still leaks ..........!!****######
will make a post if i fix it another way

Sounds like fun! I asked about the water pump drive because I had an annoying oil leak for a while, which turned out to be the seal on the camshaft where it passes thro' the rocker cover.
