Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the camshaft seal dimensions, swirl direction, and engine application before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the camshaft journal for wear or scoring before pressing in the new seal. For best results, install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the dust lip and sealing edge.
