- A valve cover gasket's primary function is to seal the gap between the valve cover and the engine block. This seal prevents oil from leaking out of the engine and also prevents dirt and debris from entering the engine. The gasket is typically made of a durable material, such as rubber or silicone, which can withstand high temperatures and pressure.
- In addition to their temperature resilience, silicone rubber gasket sheets exhibit excellent resistance to ozone, UV radiation, weathering, and chemicals, including acids, alkalis, and oils. This chemical inertness ensures that they maintain their integrity and sealing capabilities over extended periods, even in harsh conditions. They also possess good electrical insulation properties, which makes them valuable in electrical and electronic applications.
Coat the sump flange with gasket-sealant and fit the flat parts of the gasket to it, ensuring that they are exactly positioned and joined.
Oil seals come in various shapes to fit the machine or substance for sealing.
For this reason, when designing a machine, it is important to select the oil seal that is right for that machine.
Next time, we will explain the key points to consider when selecting your oil seal.

a5rtc spark plug. This helps to improve engine performance and fuel efficiency, as well as reduce emissions.
Although extremely flexible, silicone does have some disadvantages. Many silicone compounds have poor tensile strength, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance. If you are looking for a material that offers a higher tensile strength, while still offering high temperature resistance, look no further than Viton®.
