Detailed Description

This FAG SS2886 timing cover seal is engineered to maintain a tight seal at the engine cover interface, helping control oil leakage and keep contaminants out of the sealed area. The metal shell supports stable fitment, while the Teflon sealing material is selected for demanding engine environments where consistent sealing dimensions matter. It cross-references National 710551 for the same application.

Use SS2886 when servicing engine timing cover sealing on Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon models that require the specified bore and outside diameter dimensions.

What It Helps Address

• Oil seepage at the timing cover sealing surface
• Contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture entering the sealed area
• Loss of grease or lubricant retention at the seal interface
• Wear-related sealing issues during timing cover service
• Fitment problems caused by incorrect seal dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width before installation. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly and inspect the timing cover for scoring, corrosion, or distortion that could affect seal performance. Confirm the vehicle application and engine configuration against the listed fitment before ordering or installing SS2886.
