My gasket set came with the cam seals but both are the same size, fits the timing belt pulley. The distributor side was missing when I took the cam out but it sure seems smaller, or maybe Im missing how to put it in or something? What is the timing belt side called and what is the distributor side called? And are they suposed to be different sizes?

Good bye


The cam and crank seals are the same size Od and Id just different thickness. There is no seal on the distributor end just an o-ring to seal and a gasket to seal that end.

#10 (09283-32038) is the front crank seal (31.5x47x6mm) and instructions for replacing that can be found here. #20 is the rear crank seal (68x86x8mm).

#2 (PN 09283-32038) is the Cam seal.


Same Part number.

Your distributor may not look like this but the oring #19 (33278-60B40) is what seals the back of the camshaft.

Oh, thanks for the info! It sure looks like there is suposed to be a seal on the distributor side, like they designed it for one then probably changed there mind haha. Yea I got it all put together right then.

What is this O-ring to? Its too big for the cam/distributor side O-ring seal...> http://www244.pair.com/oldguys/09-00114a.jpg http://www244.pair.com/oldguys/09-00114.jpg

Looking at your list:
1 Rear Main Seal (thats the big Read One) should measure 68x86x8mm (#20 is the rear crank seal)
1 Front Oil Seal is the front crank seal (31.5x47x6mm) #10 (09283-32038)
1 Cam Seal (should be the same size as the Front Oil Seal)
1 Rubber Oring ( I remember that getting me as well) It is NOT the Distributor Seal If I recall it is was the Oring behind the water pump (09280-28008)

I will post the picture showing the location of some of the stuff in your set.

In this photo that oring that goes behind the water pump is #13
