From there it can get sucked into the oil pick up causing total engine failure, even if you do not lose the engine it is a COSTLY repair to remove the sub-frame and drop the oil pan to remove the belt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe best way to combat this is to watch for oil leaks and keep up on your maintenance. BUT Even with those preventative measures, pre-mature belt failure can occur. This crank seal guard installs over your front crank seal and will keep the belt from being sucked in if a belt failure does occur. This is a cheap way to ensure you do not end up having to replace your motor from oil starvation due to an ingested belt.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur seal is different from those already on the market, firstly it is not offensively priced. Secondly, it is 100% billet, with no welds on the tabs to break, no cheap bent thin steel pieces. 100% Billet 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized black for long time corrosion resistance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrank Seal comes with\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne VTT Billet N54\/55 Crank Seal Guard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo extended 12.9 Grade bolts, and two stainless washers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe highly recommend you install WITH a crank bolt capture at the same time, as you have to remove the damper anyway.
