Cam and crank seal question

[SHOstuff]

How manu seals come in both cam and crank seals and what are their part numbers?

You need 1 front crank seal and 3 cam seals.

Front Crank: SHO Source

Cam Seal: SHO Source

But at O'reilly they were selling a cam seal set with four seals in there when I know its three. Is it possible that he's giving me the wrong set? And the crank has the seal and some other gaskets so I wanna make sure I get the right ones.

Lots of parts stores list "4 required" for the cam seal. I've never figured out where the 4th should go

If they are selling a seal kit with 4 seals, are all the seals the same size? Is it possibly a kit for a different car?

Or, just order from shosource.com and know you've got the right ones.

Well I would buy from them but i'm trying to do it right away. Well I went to another o'reilly and they had one with 3 in a set so i'm confused as to which one is right. Does any other person have an idea on this issue?

The front crank is just the ring only. We sell the Ford OEM one which fits better then aftermarket. The rear crank has the gasket and requires removing the transmission.

For the cam seals you can put up the part number but I don't know why they are giving you 4. Again we sell the Ford OEM unit which does better comapred to aftermarket.

TC4587 is the part number for the cams.
