Regular inspection and maintenance of right valve cover gaskets, intake valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, and valve cover gaskets are essential to identify signs of wear, damage, or leakage. Proper replacement of worn or damaged gaskets is crucial for maintaining the integrity and performance of the vehicle's systems. Adhering to recommended service intervals and using high-quality replacement components are essential for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle's gaskets.

Raise the front of the car on ramps, apply the handbrake and chock the rear wheels. Clean round the sump and the crankcase , clutch and gearbox. Drain the engine oil (See How to drain engine oil and remove filter ). Use an adequate jack to lift the engine.
As the pressure increases, the radial load and the friction of the sealing lip increase in contact with the shaft. As with temperature, each oil seal has a recommended pressure for optimum performance. Excessive pressure causes the seals to wear more quickly and consequently have a shorter life.

Most oil seals are designed to support very low-pressure (8 psi or less) applications. If at all, there will be additional pressure along the way, pressure relief should be put into play. This is why it’s important to know the characteristics of the oil seals you are considering and compare them with your application.

EPDM oil seals are less common. They are used in solvent, hot water and steam applications, EPDM resists low temperatures down to -50 °C and UV radiation well. Some types of EPDM are also suitable for higher temperatures up to +150 °C. EPDM oil seals are usually available upon request.
Storage and Handling
It is generally used in the union of two lubricated parts, so that it hermetically seals both sides. Therefore, it guarantees the proper engine operation and helps to maintain the vehicle’s distribution system in better condition.
