Is the intake cam shaft the only one that gets an oil seal on timing gear end and does anyone know the inside outside size specifications of this unavailable part? I can probably match it up at tractor store.

Good morning,

There is no part number for the seal.

It uses a seal as it the picture I posted.

Can you upload a picture of what you have?

The reason it is not available is there is no seal for that area.

Can you attach some pictures of this for me to see?

I will take it to the tractor dealer and match it up look in any 1997 Malibu repair manual. Look under 2.4 intake cam shaft removal. Then text me back what it tells ya to remove and discard from intake cam. Keep reading and it will tell you, replace oil seal, intake cam only. Spring facing in. Thanks. Bye.

I have looked at the procedure. The seal they are talking about is what I posted in the picture I attached.

You are under the impression that it is a round seal behind the gear and it is not that all as you have found out. If it was, the seal would be offered.

Sorry you are mad at me but I do not make the car at all or the parts.

Correct. It is a seal that goes around the but not the type you think. It is part of the seal for installing the cam carrier.
