Elring 707.460 Engine Camshaft Seal

Elring Camshaft Seal for Subaru Applications

Elring 707.460 is an engine camshaft seal built for Subaru Legacy, Outback, Forester, Impreza, and Baja applications that use a 32 mm inner diameter and 45 mm outer diameter seal. Made from FPM (fluoride rubber), it is specified with a dust lip and right-hand twist swirl type for proper sealing at the camshaft.

Key Features

Detailed Description

This Elring camshaft seal is a direct-fit sealing component for Subaru engines that require the listed dimensions and seal profile. It is commonly selected for Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester, Subaru Impreza, and Subaru Baja service work where camshaft oil control and dust exclusion are critical. The 707.460 seal uses FPM material and a dust lip to help maintain a stable seal at the camshaft opening.

This part cross-references 81-22660-00 and NK117 for the same application. The Elring 707.460 is a practical choice when replacing a worn camshaft seal during engine maintenance on Subaru Legacy and Subaru Forester models, as well as other listed Subaru and Saab 9-2X applications.

What It Helps Address

• Camshaft oil leakage at the seal interface
• Oil seepage around the timing area
• Dust intrusion at the camshaft opening
• Seal wear from age, heat, and engine operation
• Loss of sealing integrity during engine service

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify the seal dimensions before installation: 32 mm inner diameter, 45 mm outer diameter, and 8 mm height.
• Confirm the right-hand twist swirl type matches the engine application.
• Inspect the camshaft sealing surface for scoring or contamination before fitting the new seal.
• Install the seal squarely to avoid distortion of the dust lip or sealing edge.
• Use clean engine assembly practices to prevent premature seal wear.

Quality Assurance

Elring is a recognized name in engine gaskets and sealing systems, and this camshaft seal is manufactured to the specified dimensions and material requirements for the listed applications. Confirm fitment against the vehicle and engine configuration before installation.
