ERIKS type R (type A according to the DIN standard) is identical in shape to type M, but has a rubber outer case with metal reinforcement on the inside. The rubber creates a good seal in the housing, even if the housing has suffered minor damage or is not in its best condition for other reasons. The RST version has a dust lip. These types are often chosen to replace a type with a metal outer case because they are easier to install and can cope with minor damage to the groove, such as scratches.
MHS - Shorty spark plugs are not merely a downsized version of their full-length counterparts; they are a testament to the power of engineering ingenuity. In their miniature form, they pack a punch, offering improved ignition, enhanced fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions. As we move toward more environmentally conscious vehicles, the importance of every gram and millimeter becomes magnified, and the shorty spark plug's ability to contribute to overall optimization without sacrificing functionality makes it an invaluable asset in modern automotive design.
- In addition to sealing, thick rubber gaskets also provide cushioning and insulation properties. The flexible nature of rubber allows it to conform to irregular surfaces, providing a tight and secure seal. This is particularly important in applications where there may be movement or vibration, as the gasket can absorb shocks and prevent damage to the surrounding components.
- The main bearing oil seal is a crucial component in the engine's lubrication system. It plays a vital role in preventing oil leakage from the engine's main bearings while allowing the rotation of the crankshaft. This dual functionality ensures the smooth operation of the engine and extends its service life.
Seals are classified by O.D. wall material, lip type, and whether they have a spring or not.
Major oil seals are specified in ISO 6194-1 and JIS B 2402-1.
Table 2 shows the common types of oil seals, while Table 3 shows the features of each type of oil seal.
Table 4 lists the JTEKT oil seal type codes and corresponding ISO and JIS standards.- Proper maintenance and troubleshooting are essential for ensuring the longevity and performance of metal-to-oil seals. Here are some tips to help you maintain and troubleshoot these seals

- Maintenance of the 14mm spark plug is also relatively straightforward
Put the jack and wooden spacer under the sump and raise the engine just enough to free the supports.
- One of the main functions of rocker valve cover gaskets is to prevent oil from leaking out of the engine. If the gasket is damaged or worn out, oil can seep out and create a mess under the hood of the car. This not only creates an unsightly appearance but can also lead to engine damage if the oil level becomes too low. Additionally, oil leaks can pose a safety hazard by making the road slippery for other drivers.
Some gaskets are in two or three pieces dove-tailed together. Make sure the pieces join up properly.
