FridgeFreezer Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yes, for a change LR re-used a part across all their engines The Range Rover prats book lists the crank nose oil seal as ETC5065, however Paddocks sell ERR1632 which specifies "single lip" and makes me think there may be a better item out there?

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Indeed ............. I think ETC5065 was superseded by ERR1632.............. these are black seals There is also a double lip seal which I think is ERR6490.................this is a brown seal It matters not which one you use..............they all f'kin leak to some degree................. I think I used the single lip seal in the rebuild ........... ERR1632 .............. this one seems OKish ........ just a little dampness below it Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh good 'cos I found two ERR1632's in my box of bits so have just fitted one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 My EPC lists both the ERR1632 & ETC5064 as superseded. ERR6490 is the current one. If this is a double seal then it would be the ideal choice. It seems strange to some that a rubber seal could wear away a crankshaft but it can. If a groove has been worn then a new seal running in that groove will not seal for long. In any situation like this then fit either a double lip seal or a seal with a thinner body which you can install further into the housing which places the lip on a fresh piece of shaft.
