Installation techniques must be carefully selected and executed to ensure the seal functions correctly throughout its service life. Each technique addresses specific installation needs and ensures long-term reliablity.
The oil valve cover gasket is a vital component in ensuring the proper functioning of an engine. It is responsible for sealing the valve cover to prevent oil leaks and to maintain proper oil pressure within the engine. Without a functioning oil valve cover gasket, oil can leak out of the engine, causing damage and reducing efficiency.
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.
