I have a seal for the bank 2 vvts that looks like it was installed incorrectly or damaged when installed and its leaking a little more then id like. Most vvt seals I've ran into need the valve cover removed but upon looking at acdelco valve cover images and the seals themselves. It seems that the holding mechanism is on the top side, notice the notches that are topside. If anyone has done this job or has a better chance to get a look at this then me id love some insight, thank you for your time!
