🔌 Function

Closes the front of the engine and houses the oil pump, carrying the front crankshaft seal and sealing the oil circuit at the front face.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Oil drip building up at the front of the engine below the pulleys
• Oil thrown onto the belt and pulley faces from a weeping front seal
• Falling oil pressure with no other cause found
• Wear ridges or scoring on the internal pump faces on strip-down
• Sealing face damaged or distorted after a previous removal

🛠️ Service Notes

• Renew the front crankshaft seal and the gasket with the cover, and fit the seal square to avoid an immediate leak
• Front covers 23170989 and 23171016 are the near alternatives - order by the engine application and serial number, not by weight
• Check the pump clearances and the relief valve before blaming the cover for low pressure
