Often just googling the part number will lead you to the new superseded part number. In this case Yingling Aviation, those Chinese guys in Wichita, :wink: otherwise known as Cessnadirect.com, provided the new part number.

Remember to orient the oil seal toward the engine (as it's purpose is to keep the oil in the sump....not to keep or allow any into the gen.) :wink:

And...did you think to read up on changing out the gen? Don't cut the gasket. When you remove the tach drive, also replace it's oil seal as well.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)
