• Contamination entering the crankshaft sealing area
• Seal wear from heat build-up
• Leakage caused by minor spindle surface imperfections
• Damage from installation stress on the seal housing

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the crankshaft sealing surface before installation and clean the area thoroughly. Confirm the seal is oriented correctly for the front engine position on your Jaguar application. Proper seating is important to avoid premature leakage, so install the seal evenly and verify the lip contacts the shaft uniformly.
