With the help of tips and information from our suppliers, our specialists will be happy to explain how to install oil seals. Please read the instructions carefully before installation.
- The spark plug valve cover gasket, also known as the valve cover gasket or NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) gasket, is a critical component in the engine's valve train. It is a rubber or synthetic material washer-like element that seals the gap between the valve cover and the cylinder head.
- Another important factor is the quality of the spark plug. High-quality spark plugs are made from materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of engine operation without deteriorating quickly. They also feature a good electrode gap, which determines the distance between the center electrode and the spark plug's outer shell They also feature a good electrode gap, which determines the distance between the center electrode and the spark plug's outer shell

truck spark plugs. A smaller gap results in a higher voltage and thus a more effective spark, while a larger gap provides a longer life to the spark plug.
Temperature - Just like pressure, the temperature that your oil seal will be operating in must be known so that you can choose one that can withstand the heat or cold. PTFE have the widest range of temperature, making them useful for machines who can see usage in extreme weather or elements.
OIL SEAL (LIP SEAL) VS. MECHANICAL SEAL: PROS & CONS OF EACH
To act as a barrier and prevent dirt, contamination and other external entities from entering the system containing the lubricating oil.

Selecting Quality Silicone and Rubber Gaskets
As shown in Figure 1, sealing devices come in two types: contact and non-contact.
Oil seals are among the major contact type sealing devices.
Compounds for Automotive Power Train Systems
In this an auxiliary lip is provided along with the regular sealing lip. The additional dust lip protects the main sealing lip against dust and other fine solid contaminants and therefore this type is recommended for use in polluted environments. To achieve a long lifetime a suitable lubricant between the two sealing lips should be applied.
