Need help identifying part# for Rear CAM Seals

Mike1967 · 09-06-2005, 02:29 PM

I want to replace the front and rear seals for my 2.5 SOHC.

Unfortunately every part store I have called only lists the front CAM seal. They have no listing for the rear seal.

Is there another name for this seal ?

The front CAM seal looks like a rubber washer. The end of the CAM shaft fits through the seal. It is the end of the CAMSHAFT that attaches to the timing belt sprocket.

The rear seal is a solid rubber seal...like a plug.

Any help is greatly appreciated !!!!!!

You shouldn't have to replace the rear cam seals, just get all the old rtv off, and put new rtv on and tap them back in. I never replace them. They don't come in the rebuild kits, and my dealership usually doesn't stock them.

Cool...that is exactly what the guy at the machine shop told me.

This is probably going to sound stupid...but what is RTV ?

kinda like silicone, its what is used when putting the engine, transmissions, heads, everything. the better stuff is grey, there's also black.
Don't know what it stands for, (brain fart) can't think of it right now, but you'll definatlly need it. Go to autozone, and ask for it.

I ordered those and they appear to be the plugs for the front. On the plus side however, I inspected the rears and they are good to go. Replacing the fronts however... is gonna be a bitch
