Pushed in with a flat head??? As in Screwdriver??? Dude, use a socket or a piece of PVC pipe. It doesn't take much to deform the seal body, distort the inner lip, or damage the spring that actually keeps the seal tight against the cam. If it's still leaking, you need to change your installation method.

The seals were pushed in with pipe the first time, and they leaked. I pushed the seals in the second time with my fingers almost all the way, and the flathead was just a nudge to make it even all the around, so I really doubt that was the key issue. But I will go back to the pipe method and try this again.
