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.
Advantages of Silicone and Rubber Gaskets
A valve cover gasket set typically includes all the necessary gaskets and seals required for the valve cover assembly. This comprehensive set ensures that all critical sealing components are replaced simultaneously, preventing potential leaks and ensuring the proper functioning of the engine. The inclusion of high-quality rubber valve cover gaskets in the set provides a reliable and complete sealing solution for the valve cover assembly.
Furthermore, natural rubber gaskets are highly durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for applications that require frequent assembly and disassembly. Unlike synthetic rubber gaskets, natural rubber gaskets are less prone to degradation from exposure to heat, ozone, and UV radiation, ensuring a longer service life and reduced maintenance costs.

Stuff clean rags into the cylinder bores and all water and oil passages and bolt holes to catch scrapings and dirt.
Seals are classified by O.D. wall material, lip type, and whether they have a spring or not.
Major oil seals are specified in ISO 6194-1 and JIS B 2402-1.
Table 2 shows the common types of oil seals, while Table 3 shows the features of each type of oil seal.
Table 4 lists the JTEKT oil seal type codes and corresponding ISO and JIS standards.

After the oil seal is positioned in the groove, apply even pressure to the oil seal using a seal driver or a similar tool. This will help to seat the oil seal firmly in the groove and prevent it from moving during use. Make sure to apply the pressure evenly and gently, as applying too much force can damage the oil seal or cause it to deform.
