Detailed Description

SKF 16041 is engineered as a camshaft seal for the engine sealing system, where accurate fit and material selection matter. SKF has a long history in seal design and uses premium materials matched to the application and operating environment. For 1989-1995 Ford Taurus service, this seal helps maintain the barrier between internal engine oil and external contaminants at the camshaft opening.

What It Helps Address

• Oil seepage at the camshaft seal area
• Contamination entering the camshaft opening
• Loss of sealing integrity during engine service
• Wear-related leakage around the camshaft interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm shaft diameter, outside diameter, and width before installation to match the engine sealing bore. Clean the sealing surface and surrounding area thoroughly before fitting the new seal. Inspect the camshaft and housing for scoring or damage that could affect sealing performance. Verify vehicle application by year and model: Fits 1989-1995 Ford Taurus, N/A.
