Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Have the rear main crankshaft oil seal and housing fitted by a qualified technician or engine rebuilder.
- Remove the gearbox and clutch assembly as required to gain full access to the rear of the engine before attempting to replace the seal.
- Before removing the old housing, note its position and depth in relation to the engine block and sump; reproduce this with the new unit.
- Thoroughly clean the crankshaft flange, sealing surface and engine block mounting face, removing any old gasket material and sealant.
- Inspect the crank flange for grooves or damage; excessive wear may require repair or specialist attention before fitting the new seal.
- Use the correct alignment tools or dowels to position the housing squarely so the seal lip runs true on the crankshaft.
- Apply a light film of clean engine oil to the seal lip if recommended by the manufacturer and tighten all housing bolts to the specified torque.
- After reassembly, check for oil leaks and confirm that crankcase ventilation is operating correctly to prevent pressure build-up behind the seal.

Engine Parts Installation Warning
Internal engine components such as rear crankshaft seals and housings must only be installed by suitably qualified technicians with the correct tools, measuring equipment and technical data. Incorrect alignment, damage to the seal during installation, contaminated mating surfaces or failure to follow the manufacturer’s procedures can lead to serious oil leaks and potential clutch or engine damage.
Before installation, verify engine code and application, compare the new housing and seal to the original unit and ensure all related components are in good condition. The installer is responsible for following the torque values and assembly instructions specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
Engine Parts Return Policy Warning
For internal engine parts and sealing components, returns are strictly controlled for safety and quality reasons. Once the packaging has been opened or the component shows signs of handling, fitting, oil contamination or workshop marks, it is generally considered non-returnable.
