Oil seals require sufficient time to solidify and cure. Premature use of equipment with newly installed oil seals can compromise the integrity of the oil seal and may damage your machine. Refer to the supplied instructions for the time frame allocated for the seal to cure.
There are two main types of spark plugs commonly used in dirt bikes standard spark plugs and iridium spark plugs. Standard spark plugs are made of a copper core surrounded by a nickel alloy, while iridium spark plugs have a fine wire center electrode made of iridium, a precious metal known for its durability and high melting point. Iridium spark plugs are more expensive than standard spark plugs, but they last longer and provide a more consistent spark, resulting in improved engine performance.
An oil seal, also known as crankshaft retainer, is a small device, but essential to ensure the proper engine operation. It plays a key role in all moving parts of an engine, acting as a physical barrier. This mechanical seal fulfils the dual purpose of sealing a rotary shaft to maintain the necessary lubrication (avoiding leaks) and preventing other foreign matter from contaminating shafts and bearings in the rotary shaft equipment.
The rubber material used in these gaskets is selected based on specific application requirements. Common materials include natural rubber for general-purpose applications, silicone for high-temperature environments, neoprene for chemical resistance, andfor extreme temperature and chemical resistance. Each type of rubber possesses unique properties that make it suitable for different conditions, making U-shaped rubber gaskets versatile and adaptable.
