If you follow the above instructions, the oil seals should work properly. Also watch the video below for an example of the installation process.
- In addition to regular maintenance, choosing the right type of spark plug for an aircraft engine is also important. Different engines have specific requirements for spark plugs, including the heat range, electrode gap, and overall design. Using the correct spark plug ensures proper ignition and combustion, leading to efficient engine operation and optimal performance.
- The rubber component, typically made from high-quality elastomers, provides the seal with the necessary elasticity to adapt to different temperatures and maintain a tight fit within the mechanical assembly. It ensures a reliable barrier against oil leakage, preventing contamination and maintaining the integrity of the lubrication system.
The sealing element, also known as the sealing lip, forms the interior of the oil seal. Various materials can make up the lip depending on the application’s specific needs. Below are some commonly used materials:
- 3. Connect the spark tester to one end of the spark plug wire, and touch the other end to the engine block or a metal surface.
The oil seal manufacturing industry continues to witness innovations aimed at enhancing the performance and reliability of seals. Advancements in material science, seal design, and manufacturing processes have led to the development of seals with improved durability, resistance to extreme conditions, and enhanced sealing capabilities. These innovations contribute to the overall efficiency and longevity of machinery and equipment in diverse industrial sectors.
6. Check for Leaks
Oil seals are used in many areas around the car.
Figure 6 shows the places where each seal type is used.

Hydrogenated nitrile natural rubber (HNBR)
Also, Viton has the widest range of resistance to chemicals. It’s resistant to several chemicals like silicone oil & grease, mineral & vegetable oil, aliphatic, chlorinated hydrocarbons, methanol fuels, and so many more.
