What This Seal Helps Address

• Oil leakage at the camshaft sealing surface
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the sealed area
• Loss of lubricant around the engine seal interface
• Wear-related sealing issues in high-mileage Jeep and Volvo engines
• Replacement needs during camshaft service or engine reseal work

Installation Notes

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation to match the engine housing and shaft dimensions. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the camshaft and surrounding components for wear, scoring, or contamination before pressing the seal into place. Confirm the vehicle-specific application by year, make, model, and engine configuration, especially on Jeep AMC and GM design variants and Volvo DOHC 20-valve or diesel listings.

Quality Assurance

FAG designs seals to meet vehicle manufacturer specifications and works with suppliers to maintain its quality standards. The seal construction is selected to protect critical engine components from contamination while maintaining sealing integrity over the service life of the application.
