Over time, heat and engine vibration cause the original rubber seal to harden and lose its flexibility, leading to oil seeping behind the crank pulley. This not only creates a mess in the engine bay but can lead to oil contamination of the drive belts, causing them to slip or fail prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThis seal features a spring-loaded inner lip that maintains constant pressure against the crankshaft snout, ensuring a leak-free transition even as the engine reaches its maximum operating temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eDetailed Vehicle Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVW Bus (Type 2):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eProduct Highlights \u0026amp; Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDouble-Lip Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a primary sealing lip to keep oil in and a secondary dust lip to keep road grime and dirt away from the crankshaft surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Fit:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineered to the exact inner and outer diameter specifications of the Type 4 engine case and crankshaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"19,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eResistant to Modern Oils:\u003c\/b\u003e Formulated to handle modern synthetic and conventional oils without swelling or degrading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 021-105-247A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Front (Pulley Side)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEngine Fitment:\u003c\/b\u003e Type 4 (1.7L, 1.8L, 2.0L)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"21,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Oil-Resistant Elastomer with Tension Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42x62x10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"24,0,0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"24,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eLube the Inner Lip:\u003c\/b\u003e Always apply a small amount of clean engine oil or assembly lube to the inner lip of the seal before sliding the pulley back on.
