INFORMATION

Subject:
Reference Chart for A/C Compressor Seal Washers

Models:
1997 and Prior Passenger Cars (Except Corvette and GEO) 1997 and Prior Light Duty Trucks (Except Tracker)

GMSPO A/C compressors include a seal washer kit. These kits contain various color edge painted washer seals and inserts in which only two (2) washers and possibly one (1) insert are used. It has come to our attention that some packaging discrepancies were found and some of the seals cannot be properly identified for installation.

These seals are very close in size and some of the seals were inadvertently edge painted the wrong color or not painted.








The chart shown will help to properly identify the seals. Use the chart by placing the seal over the pictured seal to identity inside and outside diameters and thickness. Because these seals are very similar in size, specifications are also listed in the chart.

Important:
If seals are damaged upon installation, obtain new seal kit. Seals will be available separately at a later date.
