oil in tubes

I doubt the tubes are leaking, but sure you got the right seal for your #
of cams and year if the problem returns. You can use RTV but it kinda makes
the seals a one time use item.

Replacing the tubes is a PITA. I had a deformed one on a new MOPAR IT head
once. I ended up crushing it and "folding" it in on itself to get it to come
loose. Install new ones with Green (bearing and sleeve) Locktite. Helps to
have a block of wood to hammer them in. Keep them perfectly straight in
relation to the hole when installing it. If you have access to a press, you
will have to match the angle to get it to work right.
