Apex ATC1120 Engine Camshaft Seal - Front

Apex ATC1120 Front Camshaft Seal

The Apex ATC1120 is a front engine camshaft seal for select Honda and Acura applications. It is built for direct replacement use in the engine sealing system, where a worn seal can lead to oil leakage around the camshaft area.

Key Features

• Front camshaft seal for engine sealing service
• Fits 1986-2001 Acura Integra, front
• Fits 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, front
• Fits 1988-1991 Honda Prelude, front, w/o dust seals
• Fits 1980-1983 Honda Civic, front

Detailed Description

Use the Apex ATC1120 when replacing a leaking or hardened camshaft seal in the front of the engine. This seal is listed for Acura Integra, Honda CR-V, Honda Prelude, and Honda Civic applications, including 1986-2001 Acura Integra, 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, 1988-1991 Honda Prelude without dust seals, and 1980-1983 Honda Civic. The ATC1120 supports proper oil control at the camshaft opening and is a practical choice for maintenance on older Honda and Acura engines.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage at the front camshaft area
• Visible engine oil leaks near the timing side of the engine
• Seal hardening from age and heat cycling
• Contamination around the camshaft seal surface
• Leak-related maintenance on Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Prelude, and Acura Integra engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the engine configuration and seal style before installation, especially on 1988-1991 Honda Prelude applications listed without dust seals. Inspect the camshaft sealing surface for wear, clean the bore thoroughly, and verify the seal is seated evenly during installation. Always match the part number ATC1120 to the vehicle application before service.

Quality Assurance

Apex supplies replacement sealing components for engine service applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
