• Reinforced outer case helps resist installation damage and improve durability
• Ribbed rubber inner diameter helps seal minor spindle imperfections and promote seating
• Internal contamination exclusion system helps block debris that can lead to leakage
• Vent holes allow lubricant flow around the seal lip to help reduce heat build-up
• Timken 710451 is engineered for front camshaft seal service on listed applications

Detailed Description

Timken 710451 is an engine camshaft seal for front-position applications across select Acura and Honda vehicles. It is used on models such as the 2005-2012 Honda Accord, 1999-2012 Honda Odyssey, 2003-2012 Honda Pilot, 2006-2012 Honda Ridgeline, 2007-2012 Acura MDX, and 1999-2012 Acura TL. The seal’s reinforced case, ribbed inner diameter, and debris-exclusion features are built to support consistent sealing performance in the camshaft area.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Oil seepage at the camshaft seal area
• Grease or lubricant escape from the front engine sealing point
• Contamination entering the seal lip area
• Leakage caused by minor spindle surface imperfections
• Heat-related seal wear from poor lubricant circulation around the lip

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the engine application and front-position fitment before installation. Inspect the camshaft surface for wear, scoring, or contamination, and clean the sealing area thoroughly before pressing the seal into place. Proper seating is important for leak control, especially on Acura MDX, Acura TL, Honda Accord, and Honda Odyssey front camshaft seal service.

Quality Assurance

Timken oil and grease seals are built with precision sealing designs and durability-focused construction for engine sealing service.
