In the video it just shows two dabs and two points.

I just used two dabs of RTV (permatex ultra synthetic oil resistant). No problems or leaks, even after a couple of track days.

Here is a photo of my cam plate.


Car has not been driven in a few weeks.
Drove it for 10 minutes.
Parked and opened the hood to attach battery tender
Saw white smoke. I see oil down on the exhaust

Has anyone gotten an RTV re-do to work? Which color RTV is best?
Skip RTV solutions, and get a 3rd party o-ring plate ? If so, which one?
Which brand of cam plate has become the accepted replacement?

Adding this video to this thread.

As long as you clean everything up you should be able to reseal the plate and not necessarily have to buy the new aftermarket plate. I don't think the o-ring does that much tbh.
