- Spark plugs play an essential role in the operation of a car's internal combustion engine. These small but vital components are responsible for igniting the fuel-air mixture in the engine's cylinders, thus creating the power that propels your vehicle forward.
- 4. **Gasket Dimensions** Gaskets are another type of oil seal that is used to seal the connection between two components. They are typically characterized by their outer diameter, inner diameter, and thickness. Gasket dimensions must match the components they are sealing to ensure a tight seal and prevent leakage.

There is a British Standard laid down for the control of synthetic rubbers. BS 3574 (1989) helps to determine shelf life – for instance, Nitrile (NBR) and Polyacrylic (ACM) are Group ‘B’ rubbers and have a 7-year life, whilst Silicone (VMQ) and Fluoroelastomers (Viton®) are Group ‘C’ rubbers and have a 10-year shelf life. PTFE and Leather do not come into this category but like the others should be kept in the original packing for as long as possible away from direct light, dust, and humidity. Ozone, which can also be produced by battery-driven forklift trucks has a very bad effect on synthetic rubbers. Finally, protect the sealing lip – DO NOT hang the seals on nails, wire etc.
Wipe the head and block absolutely clean with a cloth moistened with petrol.
Select the correct oil seal size
• Lubricating oil
• Rotational speed
• Shaft diameter, etc.
