Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of this seal?

The seal has an inner diameter of 35 mm, an outer diameter of 47 mm, and a height of 7 mm.

Is the mounting sleeve included?

Yes, this Victor Reinz product comes with a mounting sleeve to facilitate safer installation.

Does this fit all Nissan engines?

No, it is compatible with specific engine models. Always verify your vehicle's compatibility using the MPN 81-36957-00.

What does 'A SL' design mean?

A SL refers to a specific radial shaft seal design configuration that helps improve sealing integrity in high-pressure or high-rotation environments.

Should I apply sealant to the outside of the seal?

Generally, no. These seals are designed to fit the bore precisely; applying aftermarket sealants can sometimes cause the seal to unseat or degrade.

Why is there a right-hand twist?

The twist is engineered to match the direction of the camshaft's rotation, using the motion to help push oil back inside the engine.

Troubleshooting

Seal leaking shortly after installation

The seal may have been distorted during installation or the camshaft surface may have a groove; ensure the seal was driven in straight and the camshaft snout is free of scoring.

Difficulty sliding the seal over the camshaft

Ensure you are using the included mounting sleeve to bridge the gap over any sharp edges on the camshaft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Steps

  1. Preparation: Clean the camshaft snout and the bore in the cylinder head thoroughly to remove old gasket residue and debris.
  2. Lubrication: Lightly coat the inner lip of the new seal with clean engine oil.
  3. Mounting: Utilize the provided mounting sleeve to guide the seal over the shaft. Press the seal into the bore using a proper seal driver tool, ensuring it sits perfectly flush.
  4. Verification: After installation, manually rotate the camshaft slightly to ensure the seal is seated evenly and there is no binding.

Compatibility

Care

Keep the seal in its original packaging until the moment of installation to prevent dust or debris from sticking to the rubber lip, which could cause a premature leak.
