- Type C: A rubber-covered metal case that can be useful on any size shaft. The rubber prevents rust & corrosion and shields against damage during assembly. This design is suitable for soft alloy, plastic housing materials, or replacement in environments with minor damage to the housing surface.
- 2. Locate the spark plug wires and remove them from the spark plugs.
Housing - 2. Monitor engine temperature A damaged or worn gasket can cause the engine to overheat. Keep an eye on the temperature gauge on your dashboard and address any overheating issues promptly.
- There are many spark plug suppliers in the market, each offering a range of products with varying features and specifications. When choosing a spark plug supplier, it is important to consider factors such as the reputation of the supplier, the quality of their products, and their level of customer service.
The shaft surface to be in contact with the lip should be finished to
0.1 to 0.32 μmRa and 0.8 to 2.5 μmRz
and the lead angle to no greater than 0.05°. (There is a risk that the lead marks will impede the sealing performance of the oil seal: see Figure 5.)
A
Oil seals, also known as rotary shaft seals, are a type of gasket used to prevent lubricant leakage and contamination in rotating machinery by creating a barrier between the moving and stationary parts.

Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.
Elring supplies liquid sealants, head gaskets and also oil seals. The extensive range almost always offers a solution for an engine block and quality is can’t be missed in Elring's product range.
