I've never seen a new cast iron one, they are all usually steel.

What's nice about the tool is that it locates in the seal bore and centers on the crank. 

I thought the seal went in from the back? How does the tool locate on the seal bore?

It does go in from the back, but leaves a lip on the front side of the timing cover, big enough to locate off of.

Brent, The web site says cast iron. The person I spoke to said steel. I will know today. Chuck
