It is located between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold; it prevents exhaust gases from escaping.
Cummins specifies the primary use for 10-liter L10 engines; aftermarket catalogs extend the application to the M11, ISM, and QSM families. Final compatibility should be verified using the engine’s serial number.
The kit is installed at the front end of the crankshaft, where the shaft passes through the oil pan/front cover. The oil seal keeps the lubricating oil inside the engine while the crankshaft rotates at high speed.
Used primarily in the Cummins L10, M11, ISM, and QSM11 engine families.
Final compatibility must be verified using the ESN (Engine Serial Number) or CPL, because Cummins may use different configurations of the same engine.
