- Adaptability Different geological formations require specific materials. Choosing the right tools can help overcome challenges posed by varying rock types and conditions.
- Rubber gaskets of this size are commonly used in pipelines and valves where they serve as barriers preventing leaks and ensuring a tight seal. The elastic properties of rubber allow the gasket to conform to the surfaces it is sandwiched between, compensating for any minor imperfections or irregularities that might otherwise compromise the seal. This adaptability is key in environments subject to vibration or temperature fluctuations, conditions that could cause more rigid materials to fail.
What are Oil Seals?
Raise the front of the car on ramps, apply the handbrake and chock the rear wheels. Clean round the sump and the crankcase , clutch and gearbox. Drain the engine oil (See How to drain engine oil and remove filter ). Use an adequate jack to lift the engine.

Oil seal type or shape
Orient your seal the same way as the initial install.The sealing lip should face the lubricant that requires sealing.The second lip on a double lip oil seal is intended as a dust lip. The seal must be installed at a 90°, or perpendicularly, to both the shaft and housing bore. This is an issue in cases where the housing does not have a counterbore or shoulder the seal can seat up against.

How to Choose the Right Oil Seal

Replace the sump drain plug tightly and refill the engine with the right amount and grade of oil.

Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.
