Sixto: I was able to get the camshaft out without removing the tensioner, do I have to remove it for some reason?

I'm getting the recommended loctite sealant, but after much reading on the forum I am still not totally clear on all the spots to put the sealant. Would you mind giving me a synopsis of all the spots where it is needed to properly seal, and if you applied it thick or thin in each spot? Also a description of how you placed the cover back on the engine to successfully create the seal. I am also replacing the circular gasket that is inserted in the cover and surrounds the camshaft, do you know if this takes sealant as well? Thanks in advance.

Kestas: All the lobes on the intake side were severely worn, while the exhaust side was perfect. This makes me suspect oil starvation, because the engine is tilted away from intake. Is there anything else that could cause intake only lobe wear? Thanks in advance.
