T4,G2 Distributor Seal

This distributor shaft seal is a direct replacement oil seal that fits into the distributor housing to prevent engine oil leaking past the distributor shaft. A failed or hardened seal can cause oil contamination inside the distributor, leading to misfires, poor running, rough idle, and premature ignition component failure.

Replacing the seal restores proper oil control and helps protect the distributor, cap and rotor arm. Ideal for routine maintenance, oil leak repairs, or during distributor overhaul work.
