Product Details

Elring 212.458 is a radial shaft seal used at the camshaft to help maintain proper engine sealing where rotating components pass through the cylinder head or timing cover area. The NBR sealing material is commonly selected for engine oil exposure, while the seal geometry supports consistent contact at the shaft surface. This part cross-references National 223035 for the same application.

It is suited to service work where oil control around the camshaft is critical and where the correct seal dimensions matter for fit and function.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage at the camshaft seal area
• Oil residue around the timing cover or cylinder head
• Loss of sealing at the rotating camshaft interface
• Contamination from engine oil escaping into surrounding components
• Service issues caused by a worn or hardened camshaft seal

Installation Notes

Inspect the camshaft sealing surface before installation and verify the shaft diameter, housing bore, and seal orientation match the application. Clean the sealing area thoroughly and avoid nicking the lip during installation. Use proper seal installation tools to keep the seal square in the bore and prevent distortion.
