- When the valve cover gasket fails, it can result in oil leaks, which can be identified by oil spots under the vehicle or a burning oil smell. It is important to replace the valve cover gasket promptly to prevent further damage to the engine and ensure its optimal performance. The 318 valve cover gasket is designed to fit perfectly on the Dodge 318 engine, providing a secure seal and reliable protection against oil leaks.
Vulcanizates of several fluoroelastomers, listed in Table 14.1, were exposed to a standard 5W-30 engine oil, ASTM Service Fluid 105, for up to 6 weeks at 150°C (302°F).5 The oil was changed weekly, but was not aerated. Retained elongation was measured after exposure for 1, 2, 3, and 6 weeks; data are shown in Fig. 14.3. The results indicate that bisphenol-cured FKM-A500 VDF/HFP copolymer, FKM-B600 VDF/HFP/TFE terpolymer, and peroxide-cured FEPM-7456 TFE/P/VDF terpolymer lost most of their original elongation over the course of the test exposure, indicating considerable additional cross-linking occurred by reaction with amine- and phenol-containing oil additives. The other fluoroelastomers showed better retention of elongation, being much less susceptible to additional crosslinking. Note that FEPM-7456 contains a high level of VDF (about 30%), while FEPM-7506 contains a relatively low VDF level (10–15%) to serve as cure site for bisphenol curing. The other FEPM types contain no VDF.
To diagnose an issue with the ignition coil, a mechanic may use an ignition coil tester to check for proper voltage output. If the ignition coil is deemed faulty, it will need to be replaced to restore proper engine function.
If the drive gear has slanting teeth, they may cause the rotor arm to turn. If it does, mark its new position to aid refitting
