Seal off oil weeping at the back of the engine with the APEX Automobile Parts Engine Crankshaft Seal Kit ABS271, a rear main seal set that installs where the crankshaft exits the rear of the block. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed L6-4.0L applications: the 2001 Jeep Cherokee, the 2001-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 2001-2006 Jeep Wrangler.

This engine crankshaft seal kit rides against the rotating crankshaft at the rear main position to help contain engine oil where the shaft passes through the block.

  • Rear main position: seals the rear crankshaft bore where the shaft exits the engine.
  • Oil-side sealing: designed to help keep engine oil from seeping past the rear of the crankshaft.
  • Direct-fit application: matched to the listed Jeep 4.0L inline-six vehicles.
  • Package quantity: supplied as a set; one per application.

Signs the original rear main seal may need replacing include engine oil pooling at the bellhousing area or oil drips appearing beneath the rear of the engine. Because an oil leak can originate from more than one gasket or seal, diagnose the source before replacing. If a failed rear main seal is the cause, this set replaces it.
