Front Crankshaft Seal - Design Change
Article No. 85-15-10DESIGN CHANGE - FRONT CRANKSHAFT 5.0L SEAL (4.9L)
LIGHT TRUCK 1985 E, F, BRONCO
Engines built from 5-16-85 have a new design front cover and crankshaft seal. The new seal is a front entry, dual lip design. This is to improve oil control and allow replacement without removing the front cover. The 4.9L seal is the same as the 5.0L seal so the procedure found in the 1985 Truck Shop Manual, Volume B, Section 21-21-25 (for 5.0L) should be used when replacing the seal. The 1986 Shop Manual will reflect the proper procedure in the 4.9L engine section.
