changing a valve cover gasket. Some gaskets may require a sealer; follow the manufacturer's instructions for application. Carefully align the valve cover back onto the engine, lining up the bolt holes, and gently tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to prevent distortion.
ERIKS type GV (type C according to DIN) is equivalent to type M, but is a heavy-duty version with a double metal casing. This can be a useful solution with larger diameters in more demanding applications. There is also a version of this type with a dust lip; the GVST (type CS according to DIN).
In conclusion, iridium spark plugs for motor vehicles offer exceptional durability, performance, and efficiency, making them a preferred choice for modern automotive applications. Understanding the significance of iridium spark plugs and their selection for motor vehicles is crucial for optimizing engine performance, fuel economy, and environmental impact, ensuring reliable operation and longevity.

The rubber material used in the oil seal should be selected based on the operational temperature and substance to be sealed.
Table 5 lists the major rubber materials along with their operational temperature ranges.
Note that it is necessary to check the compatibility with fluids.
<N.B.>
Extreme pressure additives are compounds added to the lubricant. They are activated by heat and chemically react against rubber, which deteriorates rubber properties. For this reason, it is necessary to check for compatibility with rubber materials.
