It is installed between the engine block and the oil pan. It prevents lubricating oil from leaking out and dust or contaminants from entering the lower part of the engine.
For the L10 engine, the Mechanical, CELECT, and Gas versions are listed. Compatibility with other engines, such as the M11, ISM, and QSM, must be verified using the engine serial number (ESN), as different oil pans may be used.
It creates a seal between two engine surfaces, preventing oil or other fluid leaks at the mounting point. Cummins specifies its primary use on non-certified 11-liter M11 engines; you can also find them on L10, ISM, and QSM engines.
Exact compatibility must be verified using the ESN, as the location and configuration may vary.
