The crankshaft rear oil seal is a crucial component in an engine's lubrication system.
It prevents oil leaks from the rear of the crankshaft, ensuring that engine oil stays inside the engine and doesn't contaminate other components or create environmental hazards. A properly functioning oil seal also maintains the correct oil pressure within the engine, which is essential for lubricating various moving parts, reducing friction, and preventing overheating and premature wear.

Installation and Maintenance:
Proper installation and maintenance of the crankshaft rear oil seal are essential for optimal engine performance and longevity.
Here are some key steps to consider:
Preparation: Ensure that the engine is off and cooled down before starting any work. Disconnect the battery and drain the engine oil.
Removal: To access the rear oil seal, you may need to remove various components, including the transmission and flywheel. Carefully remove the old seal, taking care not to damage the crankshaft.
Installation: Clean the seal housing and lubricate the new Tonkee® seal with engine oil. Gently slide the seal onto the crankshaft, making sure it's seated correctly. Reassemble any components you removed during the removal process.
Torque: Follow manufacturer specifications for torque settings when reassembling components, especially the flywheel and transmission.
Oil Change: After installation, refill the engine with the recommended oil, and check for any leaks during engine operation. Monitor the oil level and pressure to ensure they remain within acceptable ranges.
Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the crankshaft rear oil seal for signs of wear, damage, or leaks. If any issues are detected, address them promptly to prevent further damage to the engine.
