- The valve cover gasket is a small but critical component that sits between the valve cover and the cylinder head. Its main function is to prevent oil leaks and ensure that the engine's internal components are properly lubricated. A deteriorating or damaged valve cover gasket can lead to oil leaks, loss of lubrication, and potential engine damage.
- The rubber oil seals are made of nitrile rubber, hydrogenated butyronitrile rubber,

Storage and Handling
Oil gasket seals are used in various parts of the engine, including the valve cover, cylinder head, and oil filter housing. These seals are designed to prevent oil leaks and maintain the integrity of the engine components. The oil gasket seal ensures that the engine remains properly lubricated and free from oil leaks, contributing to its overall efficiency and reliability.
contaminated with moisture or any other particle. But the same oil will only last for a month at 212 degrees Fahrenheit if it’s contaminated with little water. This is why the function of an oil seal is very evident whenever it’s used.
These oil seals are the best for applications involving high temperatures. It’s suitable for temperatures between -4 degrees Fahrenheit and 392 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, it’s highly resistant to acids, dissolvent materials, and other chemicals. Viton (FKM/FPM) oil seals can run at a maximum speed of 38 m/s.
These are comparable to type R and RST, except the outer case does not have a metal reinforcement ring. To compensate, the outside is not made of normal rubber, but a hard, heavy-duty rubber fabric. The advantage is that these types can be made in a split version. They are almost always produced to order, and made of NBR or FKM.
