Detailed Description

Elring 562.939 is an engine camshaft seal engineered to maintain a tight seal where the camshaft passes through the engine housing. The seal’s FPM material is selected for resistance to heat and oil exposure, while the AW radial shaft seal design and right-hand twist swirl type support proper sealing geometry in the specified applications. This part number is commonly searched for BMW 750iL, BMW 850Ci, and BMW M3 camshaft seal replacement needs, along with Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph and Park Ward fitment where the OE dimensions align.

This part cross-references Victor Reinz 81-19159-10 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage at the camshaft seal area
• Visible oil residue around the front or rear engine sealing surface, depending on application
• Loss of sealing integrity from age, heat cycling, or hardened rubber
• Contamination of surrounding engine components from leaking engine oil
• Noise or wear concerns related to an improperly sealed camshaft opening

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the seal dimensions before installation: 7 mm height, 28 mm inner diameter, and 40 mm outer diameter. Match the swirl type and radial shaft seal design to the engine specification, and inspect the camshaft sealing surface for scoring, wear, or contamination before fitting the new seal. Clean the housing thoroughly and install the seal squarely to avoid distortion.
