Standard type There is a little leakage as the fluid vapors get released into the atmosphere from the faces of the seal, though. Since the quantity is hardly quantifiable, the seals are considered leak proof.
- The valve cover gasket, nestled between the cylinder head and the valve cover, serves as a sealant, preventing oil leaks and maintaining the necessary pressure within the engine. In the case of the LS3, this function is even more critical due to the high RPMs and intense operating conditions these engines are subjected to. The LS3, known for its potent power output and exceptional reliability, relies heavily on the integrity of its valve cover gasket.
- 1. Radial shaft seals These seals are designed to prevent oil leakage along the radial direction of a shaft. They are commonly used in automotive transmissions, gearboxes, and pumps.

Case study 2: Silicone oil leakage
we offer oil seals made from the highest quality materials to ensure durable, reliable seals for a variety of applications. Our state-of-the-art machining services allow us to deliver custom seals to meet customer requirements for quantity, size, style, profile, and materials.
Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.
