How do you replace the crankshaft and camshaft oil seals in 3.0L and 3.3L V6 engine on Lexus RX350?

If the crankshaft oil seal is to be replaced then one must remove the timing belt for the crankshaft sprocket. Look at the depth of the seal in the bore and remove the part of the seal lip with the razor knife. Using a screwdriver or a seal removal tool, carefully unbend the seal out of the engine remembering to put tape around the screw driver head not to mar the housing bore or the crankshaft because in the process of removing the new seal, if this is damaged, leaks might occur. Scrub the bore surface and lubricate the outer peripheral band of the new seal with engine oil and apply multi-purpose grease to the seal lip. To install the new seal, use a seal driver or a socket, slightly less in diameter than the seal's outside diameter, and tapping it with a hammer until the seal is flush with the groove and at the same depth of the previous one, after which it is important to check whether the spring is in place. Replace the crankshaft timing sprocket and the timing belt, after this start the engine and look for oil leaks at the front seal. To get access for the camshaft oil seals, first, you have to take of the timing belt and the camshaft sprocket, and then the rear timing belt cover. Observe that the seal sits deep into a cut-out section and, extremely cautiously, pry it out with a screwdriver that's again been wrapped with tape at the tip of the blade. Remove debris in the bore, and lubricate the outer peripheral surface of the new seal fitting and the seal lip with the engine oil or multi-purpose grease. Insert the new seal into the axle housing by using a seal driver or socket and make it stay central to the housing to the depth of the initial one. Place back the rear timing belt cover and fasten the bolts; replace the camshaft sprocket(s) and the timing belt as well. Last but not the least, start the car and look for the signs of oil leaks at the camshaft seal.

Lexus RX350 Camshaft Seal

The Lexus RX350 Camshaft Seal protects the area where the camshaft leaves the cylinder head, preventing dirt, excess oil, and other contaminants from entering the engine and causing problems. By ensuring a tight barrier is maintained, the Camshaft Seal keeps the lubrication around the camshaft journals and keeps wear on the camshaft from prematurely occurring. In all Lexus generations of the RX350, the Camshaft Seal contains a precisely molded sealing lip that fits the rotating shaft, which keeps oil in and grime out. This simple mechanism applied in every Lexus Camshaft Seal relies on compression and engine oil pressure rather than complex parts, which keeps weight low and reliability high. The Camshaft Seal has remained with this one proven layout through the model years so drivers will not see different styles or materials within the standard RX350 production. Because the same profile meets factory specifications, running one Lexus unit in place of another identical seal still provides the precise clearance the RX350 engine demands. Regular inspection of the Camshaft Seal helps owners catch leaks in the early stages and protect performance.

Should you need to purchase new auto parts for your vehicle, we strongly suggest you consider the genuine Lexus RX350 Camshaft Seal available on LexusPartsNow.com. Our OEM Lexus RX350 Camshaft Seal come with the reassurance of the manufacturer's warranty, a hassle-free return policy, and speedy delivery service, all at affordable prices online.
