An oil seal is fitted between each end of the crankshaft and the bores of the flywheel housing and gear case cover to retain the lubricating oil in the crankcase. In certain applications, the seal must also prevent transmission oil from migrating into the engine. Seals are pressed into the bores after the housing or cover is assembled to the engine.
