Engine Compatibility
This sealing ring is used on select Volvo Penta engine applications where the camshaft / cylinder head parts diagram calls for part number 863231.
Because camshaft seals vary by engine family, cylinder head design, and production version, fitment should be confirmed by the exact 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 camshaft / cylinder head parts diagram. Similar-looking camshaft seals may differ by inside diameter, outside diameter, width, sealing lip design, or installation depth, so matching by the exact Volvo Penta part number 863231 is important.
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 camshaft, timing, or cylinder head service. It should also be replaced if the sealing lip is hardened, cut, worn, distorted, or no longer seated securely.
Installation Notes
Inspect the camshaft sealing surface before installing the new seal. Do not install a new sealing ring over a grooved, corroded, or damaged shaft surface without correcting the issue first. Lightly lubricate the sealing lip with clean engine oil before assembly and install the seal squarely to avoid rolling, pinching, or damaging the lip. Follow the Volvo Penta service manual for the correct installation depth and any engine-specific camshaft or timing procedure.

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 the safest approach because similar camshaft seals may not interchange even when they look nearly identical.
