Selected User Reviews For DORMAN 917-006 Counter Balance Shaft Seal Kit, Black
The ring that fits the dipstick tube was a nice extra. Although the seal seemed to be right for the balance shaft, it seemed not quite right. There would be some movement when it was fully seated in the bore of As it turned out, I purchased the seal from the local Honda dealer, and when I compared the Honda part to the one included in the kit, there were significant Despite the fact that the seal might have worked, I didn't feel right with how it did not install totally. I went with the Honda-supplied seal, which installed properly and completely seated in the vehicle.
In any case, if you don't have this installed, you should install it ASAP. The F-1 is being retrofitted with this modification The Honda CR-V engine is the same, and Honda made something like this as an aftermarket fix. If you know where to look, you can actually tell whether it is installed before you remove the timing cover. As a result of the metal part sticking out of the timing cover, the screw-in anchor is not protected. An attachment hole can be located just to the left of the timing cover, half way down the engine block. It is actually a dipstick tube gasket. You're the best! It had been pointed out that it was important to replace that gasket because it tended to go bad, so I was thrilled to see that Gaskets are located at the front and back of the balance shaft. The old one was a good one, so I left it in place, but I'd like to include that. In most cases you will not need a metal seal retainer if you maintain your engine correctly (check your PCV! ). The shaft seal is the weakest link in an engine when the pressure builds up inside it, but it will be blown out if the pressure is allowed to build up. In this case, the retainer prevents it The PCV is good to have, and I would put it on if it was not there. However, make sure to check that anyway, mmkay?.
Leaving the crimp was my only alternative since I wasn't going to try to widen it. Despite pounding, the shaft seal cannot be inserted into the opening of the pump, and when the car is in motion there is just 2" of clearance from the shaft end to the frame, making it impossible to hammer a socket into the shaft. OEM seals are the best option, as I also agree with others. Unlike some who claim there are springs in the seals, the seals for Honda does not contain springs.
I reinstalled the seal after tearing down the engine. The fact that it doesn't go in a complete circle around the shaft is a good thing, since it isn't necessary to take the original seal off the pulley. Because the quality of the seal in other reviews had been criticized, I decided to keep the original. However, this clip did not actually make contact with the aluminum lip instead, it was part of the seal. In the middle of the gap, there are a few millimeters. Therefore, I bent the bend in the clip just a little bit more with some pliers, and this made the clip fit snugly like it was supposed to. This is a great I gave the retainer five stars, but I deducted one star due to my lack of confidence in the As I had only a limited level of experience with automobile repair, this was a hard I would love to share what I have learned through this review. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions!.
Here are the good things The price is about half of what you would pay at a local auto parts store, without taxes, and with free shipping for Prime members. Included are all the parts that you will need to replace the front balance shaft seal on an Accord with an attached balance shaft. There is a negative side to this *All parts come from China, which is very ugly. couldn't get the retainer to fit properly on my '99 Accord. I compared this retainer with one that I purchased from Honda several years ago. The 90 degree bend in the Honda OEM part is different and this retainer is not available from Honda anymore. )
To sum up It is known that this balance shaft seal can rupture, which wrecks both the timing belt and the balance shaft belt, as well as having the potential to cause engine damage in the case of an oil leak. In order to avoid unwanted consequences, we strongly recommend a retainer. Possibly, I was unfortunate enough to receive one of the few kits with poorly formed metal retainer parts. Additionally, you may be able to redrill the hole in the retainer or enlarge it so that the bend in the retainer fits properly over the protrusion on the oil pump housing as it should. As luck would have it, I still have the original Honda retainers which will be installed on my Accord when I get home.
This was an extremely far cry from what was expected. I have been working on cars for many years, so I can be honest that they are not well made. The gear did not line up behind my balance shaft when I tried to mount it.
We noticed that the timing belt was missing from the daughters 1999 Accord LX when we replaced the timing belt. There was a perfect fit with all the new components, including new seals and an oil dipstick. An earring. This is a highly recommended book!.
The price is excellent. There are no problems with the radial seal. A spring is contained within it. An additional reviewer mentioned that the seal on the dipstick tube is a big plus. If the retainer is fastened, its curved sides will no longer accommodate the angles it was designed for. There were two things to be done -- ream the bolt hole and widen the bend that straddles the front of the.
