Different O-Ring Seal Now Used On The Oil Pump Suction Tube

Usage:


All 3406, 3408 And 3412 Engines In All Applications

Description of Change: A different O-Ring seal is now used where the oil pump suction tube connects to the oil pump on the above engines. See the illustration. The new O-ring is of a tan color and made from Viton while the former O-ring, which is of a yellow color, is made from Silicone. After a period of time, the O-rings made from Silicone can some times take a compression set and let air get into the oil pump suction line.

Adaptable As: The 5P5846 O-Ring Seal is a direct replacement for the 9M9647 O-Ring Seal in this application. The 9M9647 O-Ring Seal is still available for use in other applications.
