Whenever I need seals I go to a bearing house with the original and see
what they can have. The larger bearing companies have a huge number in
stock and can get virtually anything. You need to be a little savvy about
the application--don't install double-lip seals in systems with fluid on
only one side (you'll toast the second lip). Other than that, the seals
you'll find will generally be better than what you get from suppliers like
Moss, who seem to get everything from Bombay or deepest, darkest china.
Same holds true for ball bearings. I haven't bought a NOS or aftermarket
supplier bearing in years.

We just got a new front timing cover seal from moss and it is very
different from the seal we took out of the cover
The one we removed#pr3495 has a wider metal outside and lip .Looks much
better and fits much better than the one we got from moss#f1212 2 made by
TCI, or moss #520-000 does anyone know where to find the metal type ? Also
the ones from Moss you can almost push into the front cover by hand .
thanks,Pete Gates
