Hey all, been a while since I've posted here - apologies if this question has been done to death, feel free to point me to any relevant threads.

Removing the rear camshaft sprocket on my NA D24 has resulted in a cam-out operation because of a stuck (and somewhat rounded over) bolt, so I guess it needs new seals on both ends. The ones I pulled out look alright, and the engine apparently only has 2300 miles on it since rebuild, but that was over a decade ago, and I don't really trust anything rubber on the car.

I've sourced a set of Elring seals with the same specs as the parts I removed, and I'm still waiting on delivery - I figure now's a good time to ask/verify the depth at which to install them when I get around to it, later this week.

So, do they go in flush, or am I going to be pressing/tapping them all the way in?

My vague research on other VW IDI motors has led me to believe the former, but I thought I'd check with the D24 experts first.

Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
