Matching seal to model year
Crankshaft front seals are often shared between several Jeep generations, so the exact model year and engine can change the part’s fit. Check the year, model and engine of your vehicle before ordering, and confirm the front seal location on the engine. Old seals sometimes reveal the correct size when compared side by side.
A worn seal often shows as oil on the front cover or the bottom of the pulley. Replacement is easiest when the timing components are already off, so inspect the timing chain, the front cover gasket and the oil pump drive at the same time. Keep the crankshaft surface clean and smooth, and lubricate the seal’s lip before installation. Careful work here saves a second teardown later.
