44 typically will have a diameter in a range from about 6 mm to about 12 mm the method by which seal assembly 10 is formed is described more fully below as shown in fig3 cap leg 38 is mated to body leg 28 by mating fractured end 42 to fractured end 32 and cap leg 36 is mated to body leg 26 by mating fractured end 40 to fractured end 30 in this manner seal carrier 22 can be reassembled securely after mounting camshaft 14 in that fractured ends 30 and 40 and fractured ends 32 and 42 respectively are more intimately mated together as compared to machine surfaces since each and every crevice and groove has a corresponding crevice or groove within which it can be mated this type of mating provides an improved seal since virtually no cracks or space through which fluid from head 12 can seep are formed upon reassembly of seal carrier 22 past seal assemblies employed seal carriers in which the legs were sawed or otherwise cut open these prior methods led to an imperfect match of the legs upon reassembly it was this imperfect match between past seal caps and corresponding main bodies which provided cracks or space at their respective interfaces through which fluid could leak the present invention on the other hand provides a seal assembly 10 having a seal carrier 22 which eliminates such a problem for purposes of effectuating the mating of fractured ends 30 and 40 and fractured ends 32 and 42 respectively it is preferable to form main body 24 and seal cap 34 of seal carrier 22 from a substantially brittle material as used herein a substantially brittle material is one capable of being manifested by fracture without.
