What This Seal Helps Address

• Engine oil leakage at the crankshaft sealing surface
• Oil seepage at the rear main or transmission-end seal area
• Dust and contamination entering the seal interface
• Seal wear caused by age, heat, and crankshaft rotation
• Improper sealing from a worn or damaged original crankshaft seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the seal dimensions, swirl direction, and application position before installation. Clean the sealing bore and crankshaft surface thoroughly, and inspect for grooves, scoring, or contamination that could affect sealing. Because this part is specified for left-hand twist applications, confirm the engine rotation and OE-style seal orientation before pressing it into place.
