Front oil seal

The front crankshaft oil seal is installed in the camshaft drive cover and can be replaced on an engine installed on a car. First of all, it is necessary to check whether the leakage of oil is caused by leakage of the connector surface of the camshaft drive cover, and eliminate it. The dimensions of the oil seal depend on the year of manufacture of the engine, which you need to pay attention to when buying an oil seal.

• Remove damper and pulley (section 3.7).
• Remove the seal from the cover using a screwdriver. To prevent damage to the cover or crankshaft, place a thick gasket under the screwdriver blade.
• Check the wear of the working surface of the sleeve and, if necessary, the sleeve must be replaced.
• Thoroughly clean all parts, if necessary, round the edges of the gland hole.
• In case of leakage on the outer surface of the stuffing box, put the stuffing box on the sealant.
• Apply 1 g of long-life grease between the lip and dust lip and carefully slide the oil seal onto the crankshaft bushing and insert into the drive cover. If the stuffing box is placed on the sealant, a 3-hour hold is necessary for the sealant to harden.
• Install damper as recommended section 3.7 on the crankshaft.
