Claim Text:
1. An engine component seal assembly for insertion in a mounting bore having a longitudinal axis formed in a portion of an engine, comprising: a sealing sleeve including an outer surface sized and dimensioned to be positionable in the mounting bore adjacent a bore sealing surface, said sealing sleeve further including an inner surface having an inner diameter at a ring interface portion; and a retaining ring sized and dimensioned to be positionable within said sealing sleeve adjacent said ring interface portion, said retaining ring having an outer annular surface with an outer diameter, wherein the outer diameter of the retaining ring is greater than the inner diameter of said sealing sleeve before the retaining ring is positioned within the sealing sleeve such that the outer annular surface of the retaining ring applies a radially outward sealing force against said interface portion to create a fluid seal between said sealing sleeve and the bore sealing surface when the retaining ring is positioned within the sealing sleeve.
