EN-48853 Front Cover Aligner
For GM / General Motors. EN-48853 aligns the front cover for
installation on 4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L, 6.2L, and 7.0L V8 engines. A key is
being added to the crank hub to retain the balancer starting in the
2008I model year. If the cover is not properly centered to the
crankshaft, the front seal will fail, resulting in leaks. Due to the
key way combined with the larger cover required by engines with cam
phasers, previously Essential J-41476 and EN-47813 will no longer fit
these engines. EN-48853 centers the front cover while fitting over the
crank key, and allows the cover to be installed into the correct
position, centered around the crankshaft. EN-48853 allows cover
installation without having to remove the seal included in new cover,
and adapters are included to allow EN-48853 to back-service to 1998.
