Call Cummins. They sell a kit with the seal, o ring and timing cover gasket for less than $10.00. It also comes with instructions. Should take a couple of hours to do. Here are some instructions you can look at before hand. Click

Smile Re : seal

Mine was the seal from hell , I was able to do mine in under an hour ... I ran into a problem with a grove that was worn into the powersteering dog ...if yours has a grove make sure you space your seal back enough that it has a new surface to ride on , other wise that seal will be distroyed when you fire up your engine .
If you do a search on here ... I have a ton of posts with info on the seals ... and I do think a gentleman posted that there is a cummins seal thats availible ... but no matter what you get make sure its a viton seal .

Hope this helps

Greg
