Cam shaft seals.
On every engine re-build we have done with the gasket sets, 2-3 of these have leaked afterwards. In fact its proven more succesfult to re-fit the old gaskets than to use the cheaper pattern items!

Blonde moment -  Which seal is this? the one from the front of the camshaft where it passes through the head and out to the pulley?

Yes, thats the one!

Are camshaft seals expensive from Vx?

TBH, there are so many crap gaskets in the set, I wonder if it's worth getting them ALL from VX to begin with  

I now have an FAI set, BUT I intend to use the genuine camcover, exhaust manifold gaskets.
