The Volvo Penta 8631561 is an OEM camshaft sealing ring used at the camshaft outlet / cylinder head sealing area on select Volvo Penta engine applications. This seal helps retain engine oil inside the cylinder head and timing-area assembly while sealing around the rotating camshaft. It should be replaced whenever the camshaft seal area is opened for service, when oil leakage is present, or when the parts diagram specifically calls for 8631561.

Engine Compatibility
This sealing ring is used on select Volvo Penta engine applications where the camshaft / cylinder head parts diagram calls for part number 8631561.
Because camshaft seals can vary by engine family, cylinder head design, and production version, confirm the exact application by Volvo Penta engine model, serial number, and diagram location before ordering.
Serial Number Fitment Notice
Confirm fitment by Volvo Penta engine serial number and the correct cylinder head / camshaft parts diagram. Similar-looking camshaft seals may differ by inside diameter, outside diameter, width, sealing lip design, or installation depth, so the safest match is by the exact Volvo Penta part number 8631561.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace this sealing ring if engine oil is leaking from the camshaft outlet area, if oil is visible around the timing cover or cylinder head seal location, or whenever the seal is removed during engine disassembly. It should also be replaced if the sealing lip is hardened, cut, worn, distorted, or has been disturbed during service.
Installation Notes
Inspect the camshaft sealing surface before installation. Do not install a new seal over a grooved, corroded, or damaged shaft surface without correcting the issue. Lightly lubricate the sealing lip with clean engine oil before assembly and install the seal squarely to avoid rolling or damaging the lip. Follow the Volvo Penta service manual for the correct installation depth and any engine-specific timing or camshaft service procedures.

Parts Desk Insight
Camshaft sealing rings are small but important oil-control parts. A worn seal can create an external oil leak that may be mistaken for a valve cover, timing cover, or cylinder head leak. Matching this seal by the Volvo Penta diagram is important because similar camshaft seals may not interchange even when they look nearly identical.
