Key Features

• Precision sealing design for the camshaft area

• Ribbed rubber inner diameter for sealing minor spindle imperfections and promoting seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system to block debris that can lead to leakage
• Vent holes that circulate lubricant around the seal lip to reduce heat buildup

Detailed Description

Timken 710308 is an engine camshaft seal engineered to help maintain proper lubricant control where the camshaft passes through the engine housing. The seal’s reinforced outer case adds strength during installation, while the ribbed inner diameter helps maintain contact on shafts with minor surface variation. Built-in contamination exclusion features help keep debris out of the sealing area, and vent holes support lubricant flow around the lip to manage operating heat. This makes it a practical choice for drivers servicing older compact and import vehicles such as the Isuzu Impulse, Isuzu I-Mark, and Chevrolet Spectrum.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.
