Product Overview
Oil appearing behind the crank pulley can come from a hardened front seal, but a grooved crank surface, loose pulley, worn bearing, excessive crankcase pressure, or an oil leak from higher on the engine can quickly ruin the repair. Clean the area and trace the leak before pressing in the new seal.
This radial seal keeps engine oil inside around the front crankshaft. The 16241-04212 number and the 38 × 50 × 8 mm dimensions give a much stronger match than the equipment model alone.

Compatibility Notice

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will a new seal stop oil if the crankshaft has a groove? A: It may leak again quickly. A worn sealing track may need a repair sleeve or other correction before the new seal is installed.
Q: Why should I inspect the breather? A: Excess crankcase pressure can push oil past a good seal and make a new one appear defective.
Q: What is the safest way to confirm this fits? A: Use the compatible list as a starting point, then compare the original reference number, dimensions, connections, mounting details, production date, and equipment or engine serial information.
Q: Who manufactures this service part? A: This is a new aftermarket part. The brand and model names identify the applications it is intended to service.
