LS1 spark plug wires are an essential part of any LS1 engine, as they are responsible for delivering the electric current needed to ignite the fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. These wires are typically made of a high-quality silicone rubber outer layer with a highly conductive core, ensuring that the electricity flows smoothly and efficiently to the spark plugs. Rocker valve cover gaskets are an essential component of a car's engine that helps to prevent oil leaks and maintain proper lubrication for the moving parts. These gaskets are located on the top of the engine and seal the gap between the valve cover and the cylinder head. They are typically made of rubber or silicone material that is resistant to high temperatures and oil exposure.
A standard oil seal consists of an outer circular metal disk with an inner flexible rubber which is affixed to the metal during vulcanization. The bonded seal has no loose parts to allow leakage of oil or ingress of any contaminants. This kind of seal is more accurate, and can easily be fitted into a smaller space. An example is shown in Figure 2.9.
Oil seals are available in an immense range of sizes, for shafts from a few millimetres to several metres. Once the shaft diameter, groove diameter (housing diameter) and groove width are known, selecting an appropriate oil seal is a simple task. An oil seal or its product description is usually associated with three dimensions, for example 6x15x4. These refer to the sizes of the hardware for which the oil seal is designed. In this example, this oil seal is suitable for: 6-mm shaft diameter x 15-mm groove diameter x 4-mm minimum groove width.
Polyacrylate
Better heat, oil and chemical resistance than NBR
It is recommended for use in oil which contains load bearing additives such as EP gear oils
