- Shaft Speed: The speed at which an oil seal can operate effectively depends on the previously outlined conditions together with the design of the seal itself. Some designs allow for a range of maximum peripheral speeds and are therefore more suitable for larger shaft diameters. Speeds below and above the recommended range can cause friction and thus impact the sealing material.
- One of the most significant factors in choosing a valve cover gasket is compatibility. You need to be certain that the gasket you select is designed specifically for the make and year of your vehicle. Failure to do so could result in a poor seal, leading to oil leaks, engine noise, and reduced performance. Fortunately, many auto parts manufacturers offer universal valve cover gaskets that can fit a wide range of engines. However, if you opt for a universal gasket, it's essential to check its fitment before installation.
- Spark plugs, typically costing between $5 to $20 each, depending on the type and quality, are designed to withstand high voltage and extreme temperatures. Premium iridium or platinum spark plugs can be more expensive but offer improved durability and performance. A standard four-cylinder engine requires four spark plugs, while a six or eight-cylinder engine will need more, thereby affecting the overall cost.

Orient your seal the same way as the initial install.The sealing lip should face the lubricant that requires sealing.The second lip on a double lip oil seal is intended as a dust lip. The seal must be installed at a 90°, or perpendicularly, to both the shaft and housing bore. This is an issue in cases where the housing does not have a counterbore or shoulder the seal can seat up against.
Replacing gaskets and oil seals


The first step in installing oil seals is to clean the surface where they will be placed. Dirt, debris, and other contaminants can cause the oil seal to become damaged or misshapen, leading to leaks. Clean the surface with a solvent or soap and water, and make sure it is completely dry before installing the oil seal.
However, it’s plagued with a few drawbacks, such as poor resistance to ozone, sunlight, and weather. It also has limited resistance to high temperatures and flames.
