Corteco 01037306B Flywheel seal

Description

The Corteco 01037306B is a flywheel seal designed to prevent oil leaks from the flywheel area of the engine. This seal is crucial for maintaining engine lubrication and preventing damage to the clutch and transmission. It's typically found in engines where the flywheel housing connects to the engine block. The flywheel seal ensures optimal sealing, contributing to extended component life and reliable engine performance. This seal has dimensions of 12 x 54 x 54 mm and is manufactured in Hungary.

Key Features & Benefits

This little rubber piece basically keeps oil in and dirt out where the flywheel connects to the engine. It seals the gap between the flywheel and the engine case. Think of it as a barrier, a kind of gasket, that prevents leaks and keeps everything running smoothly. It also stops outside contaminants from getting into your engine’s oil, which is crucial. It's located right where the engine’s crankshaft exits the engine block, behind the flywheel. That flywheel, as you probably know, helps smooth out the engine’s power delivery. The seal sits between those two parts, keeping the lubricating oil contained within the engine. It’s a small component but absolutely essential for engine health.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Without a good flywheel seal, you’ll start leaking engine oil. It might be a small weep at first, but it can quickly turn into a noticeable puddle. Beyond the mess and the cost of replacing oil, a leak like that can damage belts and other components. Plus, if dirt gets in where it shouldn’t, it can score the crankshaft and cause some really expensive damage. It’s one of those things where a small, inexpensive part prevents a whole lot of trouble. You’ll notice if it’s failing because of an oil leak, or potentially some unusual noises as things start wearing. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a new one installed when you're doing other maintenance, like a clutch job, is always a good idea. It's a preventative measure that can save you headaches down the road.
