the camshaft seal failed on my fester, with the oddity that i can actually see a small section of the camshaft rotating, i.e a quarter inch section of camshaft at the end has been exposed where the seal has disintigrated.
i am not sure how long the camshaft has been exposed. but i was hoping to just renew the failed seal.
if the camsaft end got scored by dust/dirt, would it destroy the new seal? any other problems from a scored camshaft end? thx
That would be very unusual. Seals normally just wear out. Are you sure that the seal has actually broken away from it's 'housing'?
The chance of any damage to the seal diameter on the camshaft is highly unlikely. If it's just the seal that has gone, replacing it is all that's needed, but I still think the damage to the seal needs to be investigated. Why did it break Etc. Mike.
