Front cover crank seal alternative brand/part number

[Ruffian]

Hi guys,
I´ve been searching for a previously existing answer to this but couldn´t find it anywhere. If already discussed and I failed to find it, please accept my apologies.

Is there any alternative brand/supplier/part number etc for the front cover / crank seal (OEM PTFE membrane lip style)?

I´m not trying to be cheap, it´s just I can´t find it available here in Argentina by searching the p/n 11111341357 and I would like to replace it with this type of seal and not a traditional gartner spring seal.

Thanks,

Roy The Ruffian

the seal should have the dimensions on it .
or
you could measure the seal you took out !
or
measure the thickness = a
measure the hole it came out of =b
measure the bit that goes in the middle =c ( allow a tiny bit for it to grip the crankshaft )
seal size will be b/c/a
i would use a Viton seal for preference ( it will be brown )
any good bearing shop will probably do seals too.

your seal should be

30X42X7

Thank you! Yes I already took the part number and dimensions from Realoem, precisely. What I was trying to obtain is an equivalent part# from a manufacturer or reseller, and I failed to do so. I´d also stick to PTFE membrane seal type instead of Viton. Thanks for the Motorworks link! it looks like they have one here: https://www.motorworks.co.uk/crankshaft-oil-seal-ena40773-1.html

You can count on that (or maybe a couple of ) beer/s!

Baldrick that beer came way too easily. You should have pitched for a nice Argentinian steak.
