Hi-Tech, the rear seal with my SCAT is nicely dry. Nevertheless, the FE rule is "three drops or less is considered bone dry." Intakes and valve covers are other trouble spots. Although with a hydraulic cam you have the luxury of not having to pull the valve covers as often (so you can use stronger goo on them).
