This seal is catalogued for specific HONDA crankshaft applications on the transmission side and is associated with OE references 91214PC6003, 91214PC6013, 91214PD2004 and 91214PE1721.

Technical data - CORTECO 19016488

CORTECO 19016488 - precise product identification

The complete designation:

CORTECO 19016488 VMQ RHTC 80x100x10

provides precise identification of the seal.

When selecting a replacement, check not only the dimensions but also:

• CORTECO part number 19016488
• VMQ material
• RHTC profile
• 80 mm shaft diameter
• 100 mm housing diameter
• 10 mm width
• seal direction
• additional dust lip
• installation position
• OE reference

Different radial shaft seals with identical 80x100x10 mm dimensions may have different materials, sealing lip designs, directional features and intended applications.

Dimensions of CORTECO 19016488

The nominal dimensions are:

80x100x10 mm

where:

• 80 mm - inside diameter
• 100 mm - outside diameter
• 10 mm - seal width

The inside diameter corresponds to the nominal shaft diameter at the sealing surface, while the outside diameter corresponds to the nominal housing bore.

These three dimensions are fundamental for identification but should not be used as the only criteria when selecting a technically correct replacement.

VMQ material - silicone elastomer

CORTECO 19016488 is manufactured from:

VMQ

VMQ is a silicone elastomer used in sealing technology where its specific material characteristics are required.

Seal material is an important selection parameter because it affects properties including:

• temperature behaviour
• flexibility
• ageing characteristics
• compatibility with the operating medium
• performance under specific operating conditions

A VMQ seal should not automatically be replaced with NBR, ACM or FKM/FPM simply because the alternative seal has identical dimensions.

Material compatibility must always be considered for the actual application.

What does RHTC mean?

RHTC is the CORTECO construction designation for this particular radial shaft seal execution.

For CORTECO 19016488, catalogue information identifies characteristics including:

• RHTC profile
• additional dust lip
• directional sealing design
• crankshaft sealing application

RHTC should therefore be treated as an important part of the complete product identification rather than as an insignificant suffix after the dimensions.

Additional dust lip

CORTECO 19016488 incorporates an additional dust lip.

The purpose of the dust lip is to provide additional protection for the main sealing area against contaminants approaching from the external side of the sealing arrangement.

This is an important construction feature when comparing CORTECO 19016488 with simpler single-lip radial shaft seals.

The presence of a dust lip can be particularly relevant where contamination around the sealing position needs to be controlled.

Crankshaft oil seal

CORTECO 19016488 is catalogued as a:

crankshaft radial shaft seal

The installation position is identified as:

transmission side

This means that the seal is used as a rear crankshaft oil seal in the corresponding HONDA applications.

Compatibility with a specific vehicle should nevertheless be verified using the exact engine, model, production year, OE number or VIN-based parts catalogue.

Right-hand directional design

Catalogue information identifies CORTECO 19016488 as a right-hand directional seal.

Directional characteristics are technically important in crankshaft sealing applications.

For this reason, a radial shaft seal with the same 80x100x10 mm dimensions but a different directional design should not automatically be considered an equivalent replacement.

The direction of shaft rotation and the manufacturer's specified seal design should always be verified before installation.

HONDA OE reference numbers

CORTECO 19016488 is associated with the following HONDA OE references:

• 91214PC6003
• 91214PC6013
• 91214PD2004
• 91214PE1721

These references are particularly useful when identifying the correct crankshaft seal.

Natural searches may therefore include:

• HONDA 91214PC6003 oil seal
• HONDA 91214PC6013 oil seal
• HONDA 91214PD2004 crankshaft seal
• HONDA 91214PE1721 seal
• CORTECO 19016488 HONDA
• HONDA crankshaft seal 80x100x10
• HONDA rear crankshaft oil seal 80x100x10

For vehicle repair, final compatibility should be confirmed against the exact vehicle and engine specification.

Why are 80x100x10 mm dimensions alone not enough?

Many radial shaft seals can share the same nominal dimensions.

Two seals measuring 80x100x10 mm may differ in:

• elastomer material
• sealing profile
• number of sealing lips
• dust lip design
• main sealing lip geometry
• directional features
• spring configuration
• intended medium
• operating conditions
• OEM application

For this reason, CORTECO 19016488 should not be replaced solely by matching the dimensions.

The complete technical specification must be considered.

VMQ vs NBR

VMQ and NBR are different elastomer materials.

NBR is widely used for general-purpose oil sealing applications, while VMQ is selected where the particular characteristics of silicone elastomer are required.

A seal specified by the manufacturer as VMQ should not automatically be replaced with NBR.

Even when both products have identical dimensions, their operating characteristics can differ significantly.

VMQ vs FKM/FPM

VMQ and FKM/FPM are also different elastomer families.

Both can be used in demanding sealing applications, but they have different chemical, mechanical and temperature-related characteristics.

Therefore:

VMQ is not the same material as FKM/FPM.

A dimensional match does not establish material equivalence.

The material specified for the original application should be retained unless an alternative has been technically validated.

How to select a replacement for CORTECO 19016488

Before selecting an equivalent seal, verify:

• CORTECO reference 19016488
• dimensions 80x100x10 mm
• VMQ material
• RHTC construction
• additional dust lip
• directional design
• shaft rotation
• crankshaft application
• transmission-side installation
• HONDA OE number
• operating medium
• operating temperature
• shaft rotational speed
• shaft surface condition
• housing dimensions

Identical 80x100x10 mm dimensions alone do not guarantee technical interchangeability.

Selecting the correct radial shaft seal

A technically correct radial shaft seal should be selected using more than just three dimensions.

Important parameters include:

• shaft diameter
• housing bore diameter
• seal width
• elastomer material
• sealing lip configuration
• dust lip
• directional characteristics
• shaft speed
• operating temperature
• pressure conditions
• lubricant or operating medium
• shaft surface finish
• shaft hardness
• installation environment

For automotive applications, OE cross-reference and exact vehicle compatibility are also important.

Installation of CORTECO 19016488

Before installation, carefully inspect the shaft and seal housing.

The shaft sealing surface should be free from:

• deep grooves
• scratches
• corrosion
• sharp edges
• contamination
• damage that could cut the sealing lip

The housing should also be clean and free from damage that could prevent correct seating of the seal.

The seal should be pressed into position evenly using a suitable installation tool.

Avoid deforming the seal or applying uneven force during installation.

Protect the sealing lip during installation

The sealing lip can be damaged when passing over:

• sharp shaft edges
• keyways
• splines
• threads
• damaged shaft surfaces

Where necessary, an appropriate installation sleeve should be used to protect the sealing lip.

The seal must also be installed in the correct orientation according to the design of the sealing arrangement and the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

Incorrect orientation can compromise sealing performance.

Shaft surface condition

The condition of the shaft surface is critical to radial shaft seal performance.

Before installing a new CORTECO 19016488 seal, inspect the area where the sealing lip contacts the shaft.

If the previous seal has produced a significant wear groove, simply installing a new seal may not resolve the leakage problem.

The complete sealing surface should therefore be evaluated during repair.

Typical reasons for crankshaft seal leakage

Leakage around a crankshaft seal can be associated with factors such as:

• worn sealing lip
• damaged shaft surface
• incorrect installation
• contamination
• incorrect seal orientation
• excessive shaft runout
• inappropriate replacement seal
• damage during assembly
• excessive crankcase pressure

The source of leakage should be identified before replacing the seal.

Installing a new seal without addressing the underlying cause may result in repeated leakage.
