- Regular maintenance and inspection of the oil seals are essential to ensure the proper functioning of the motor. Over time, oil seals can deteriorate due to heat, pressure, and normal wear and tear. It is important to check the condition of the seals periodically and replace them as needed to prevent leaks and maintain the efficiency of the motor.
- A gasket's effectiveness lies in its ability to conform to irregularities on the mating surfaces, creating a reliable barrier against fluids, gases, or environmental elements. In the case of square rubber gaskets, their geometric shape provides even pressure distribution, optimizing the seal and enhancing durability. The 'square' design is particularly advantageous in applications where precise fitting and uniform compression are critical.
- In the high-performance engine world, every component plays a crucial role in delivering maximum power and efficiency. One such integral part is the spark plug wires, which serve as the lifeline between the ignition system and the spark plugs. These wires are responsible for transmitting the high voltage electrical current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs, igniting the air-fuel mixture and propelling the vehicle forward.

What are Oil Seals? 6 Things DIYers Should Know
Materials Used to Make Oil Seals
Valve cover gaskets and head gaskets play pivotal roles in maintaining the proper functioning of the engine. The valve cover gasket prevents oil leaks and contaminants from compromising the lubrication and performance of the engine, while the head gasket ensures the proper sealing of the combustion chamber, allowing for efficient fuel combustion and preventing the mixing of oil and coolant. Both gaskets are critical for the overall efficiency, performance, and reliability of the engine.
Properly installed, an oil seal will help keep machinery in perfect working order. Its primary functions include retaining or separating fluids, maintaining a bearing’s lubricity, preventing seal leakage, and preventing the entry of foreign contaminants. Other benefits of Emerson Bearing’s oil seals include:
The mating surfaces of the head or block must be perfectly clean, flat and smooth.

Choosing Quality Industrial Oil Seals




Clean all dirt and oil from the housing, and set the new seal in place with its open (spring) side towards the engine.
