Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the seal dimensions, swirl direction, and engine application before installation. Inspect the camshaft sealing surface for scoring or wear, and clean the bore thoroughly so the new seal seats evenly. Use proper installation tools to avoid distorting the lip or damaging the dust cover.
