Detailed Description

This Timken crankshaft seal is engineered for rear engine sealing where oil retention and contamination control are critical. The precision sealing design helps keep lubricant inside the engine while limiting the entry of dirt and debris. With its reinforced outer case and ribbed inner diameter, Timken 228015 is built to seat securely and maintain a consistent seal across the listed applications. This part cross-references National 228015 and SKF 31492 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Rear crankshaft oil leakage
• Contamination entering the seal area
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant flow
• Leakage caused by minor shaft surface imperfections
• Seal damage during installation on the housing bore

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify shaft diameter, housing bore, and seal orientation before installation. The clockwise helix type must match the engine application, and the seal lip should be installed cleanly and squarely to avoid premature wear. Inspect the crankshaft sealing surface for scoring or contamination before fitting the new seal. For Honda Accord, Honda Civic, and Honda CR-V rear seal service, confirm the exact year and engine application against the vehicle catalog before assembly.
