Description

The Corteco 19016528B is a camshaft shaft seal used in engine applications to prevent oil leaks and maintain proper lubrication. This seal is installed around the camshaft where it exits the engine block, ensuring a tight barrier between rotating and stationary components. It features a robust construction designed for durability and consistent performance, providing a reliable seal against oil and other fluids while minimizing friction and wear. This seal measures 60 x 60 x 82 mm and is manufactured in Indonesia.

Key Features & Benefits

This little seal’s job is pretty straightforward: it keeps oil in and dirt out. Specifically, it seals the space where the camshaft itself comes out of the engine block. It’s a simple rubber component, often with a metal outer ring for stability. It doesn’t have any moving parts, it just sits there and does its job. Think of the camshaft as the brain telling the valves when to open and close. It’s spinning up there inside the engine, and oil is crucial for keeping it lubricated. This seal is positioned right where the camshaft comes out of the engine, preventing that oil from leaking all over the place. It basically forms a barrier to maintain oil pressure.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this seal fails, you'll notice oil leaks – usually a pretty steady drip. Oil leaks aren’t something to ignore. Losing oil obviously means potential engine damage – running it low can quickly lead to serious problems. Also, oil leaking onto belts or other components can cause them to wear out prematurely. It acts like a shield, protecting vital engine parts. A failing seal can also lead to a burnt oil smell, and in some cases, even smoke. You’ll notice if it starts to go bad, usually by seeing oil under the vehicle or smelling it. Parts like this are thankfully pretty affordable, and you can find them pretty easily. We keep a good selection at Fixparts Online, and replacing it is a fairly common repair.
