I'm looking to do my KDP and associated bolts, and was looking for a new timing cover seal. Found this one at NAPA...looks like it's a redi sleeve and seal, not just the seal and installation tool/guage.

Or is there a better seal kit I should consider? I know of the TST and Geno KDP kits but thought I would do it myself.

Thoughts?

 

You should only need a crank seal. The cover gasket almost always stays in one piece on the cover. Just use a little silicone and put it right back on. The two I have done I haven't even used the crank seal but it is better insurance to just replace it.

 

Do I not need the tool and depth guide to install the front crank seal?

 

Unless your crank is grooved you don't need the sleeve.

Get the kit from Cummins, it has the "tool" you need.

 

I used the one with the wear sleeve maybe You want to ask the tech at cummins about this.
