Figure 1 To diagnose potential problems with the ignition spark plug, there are a few signs to look out for. These include difficulty starting the engine, decreased fuel efficiency, and engine misfires. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is important to have your spark plug inspected and replaced if necessary.
- The distributor oil seal is typically made of rubber or silicone material that is designed to withstand high temperatures and resist oil leakage. Over time, the seal can wear out or become damaged due to the constant exposure to heat and oil. When this happens, it is important to replace the seal promptly to prevent any oil leaks that can lead to engine damage.

JTEKT provides special seals for use in a wide variety of machines and applications.
Table 5 lists the major special seals, their shapes, and their features.
The group of oil seals used in dynamic applications include radial shaft seals that seal a rotating shaft around its circumference. They are also known as lip seals, but in this blog we will use the term oil seals.
U-shaped silicone gaskets are versatile sealing components used in various industries for their resilience, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. These gaskets are commonly employed in applications where a reliable seal is required, such as in automotive, aerospace, and industrial equipment. The U-shaped design allows for easy installation and effective sealing, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
When it comes to choosing the right oil seal for a particular application, there are several factors to consider. One of the key aspects is the material used in the construction of the seal. Different materials offer varying levels of resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear, so it is essential to select a seal that can withstand the specific conditions it will be exposed to.
Before installing the oil seal, it is important to lubricate it to reduce friction and prevent damage during installation. A silicone-based lubricant is recommended for most applications. If the oil seal is to be installed in a high-temperature or high-pressure environment, a more specialized lubricant may be required.


The care taken during the installation process will pay off by allowing the seal to work quietly and operate efficiently behind the scenes of your application.
