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.
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.
