In engine applications, square rubber gaskets are used to seal various components such as valve covers, oil pans, and intake manifolds. These gaskets help prevent oil and fuel leaks, ensuring the engine operates smoothly and efficiently.
Several variables must be considered when selecting oil seals. The physical dimensions and materials will vary depending on the environment of use. In addition, oil seals must remain lightweight, compact, and exhibit high self-lubrication performance.
In conclusion, the GY6 spark plug is a critical component of any scooter or motorcycle equipped with this popular engine. By delivering a strong and consistent spark, the spark plug ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, powering the engine and propelling the vehicle forward. Choosing the right spark plug and maintaining it properly are essential steps to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity. Keep your GY6 engine running smoothly by giving your spark plug the attention it deserves.The most common oil seals are the ERIKS types R, RST, M and MST, which correspond respectively to types A, AS, B and BS according to DIN 3760/ISO 6194.
When deciding on the best type of seal for a particular application, it is best to consider all aspects of the environment and its purpose. If the application requires a spring- loaded seal, that does not eliminate either the rotary shaft seal or the mechanical seal. If the equipment is operating in extreme temperatures, including situations where the rapid movement of the equipment creates extreme heat, a mechanical seal will hold up better than an oil seal.
Size #: Corresponds to sizes found on our Oil Seal Size Chart. The interactive chart will display matching sizes based on the dimensions input for Shaft, Bore, and Width. The Oil Seal Size # is hyperlinked to our online store, which will display all sizes matching the selection.

Rubber type
If these specific tools aren’t available, it’s entirely possible to correctly seat an oil seal in its housing using a hammer. Ideally, this hammer will be plastic or rubber due to it’s more forgiving nature. Using this and a strike plate that covers the entire seal will lend you accuracy while driving it in. The downside to this method is the inability to drive the seal any further than the strike plate will allow.
