Replacing the Camshaft Oil Seal

Model: Volvo S70 MK 1 - Years 1996-2000
Part: Engine

Inserting the new oil seal into the camshaft housing is a straightforward but delicate operation as it must not be deformed. Once the oil seal housing is thoroughly cleaned, lubricate both the housing and the new oil seal with clean oil, ensuring the sealing lip faces inwards; after positioning the oil seal, press it in fully using the appropriate tool. Proceed to install the pulleys, ensuring to keep the timing references aligned using the specific locking tool.
