Question How deep do you push it (CAM Seal)?

Do you slide the cam seal as far in as it goes on the sleeve or do you leave it flush with the rear distributor housing? And what about the crank seal? I'm hoping to do this only once and ask b/c this was/is of major concern when replacing the rear main seal...

TIA

It actually doesn't matter because the height of the seal's body will stop it at the bottom of the housing. I actually set my crank/cam/balance-shaft seals to a different height each time so that you don't end up with a groove.
