    Was it a Freudian slip to title this thread a CAN seal? Lol

    Many thanks!
    I didn't think to search by vehicle / part. I searched for the national seal number and came up blank.

    Got one on the way. Two actually, a timken and some off name that was a closeout item for less than a buck. I just want to compare the two.

    Can seal- that would be my phone's spell check. For some reason it detests the word cam. It'll try making it can every time.

    Gotta love these smart phones "helping us out".... Here's my all time favorite - I know it's a bit off color, but I laughed until I cried when I saw this....

    Rock auto shipped it fast. The cheapie seal came in the mail first. It fits great. Timing belt came in today, and it's all buttoned up, ready for oil change and install. Radiator is serviced, just need to pick up new oil and air filters.

    It's all back together. Thanks for the help with getting a cam seal.

    And none too soon. The dodge has a too-healthy appetite for premium.
