- One of the key advantages of custom molded gaskets is their ability to conform to irregular surfaces and tight tolerances. Unlike stock gaskets that may not fit properly or leak due to variations in size and shape, custom molded gaskets are tailored to fit precisely, providing a reliable seal even in the most challenging environments.
An oil seal, also known as a shaft seal or dirt seal, prevents lubricants such as oil and grease from escaping along a rotating shaft. Oil seals are an important component in preventing leaks and contaminants from clogging various engines, pumps, and pipelines.
Installing and replacing oil seals can be a daunting task. But with the right knowledge, the results can be good. Here are 8 tips to guide you on what to look for when working with oil seals. Read on for more information.For more detailed information, please see the following:
- Replace the valve cover, hand-tightening the screws or bolts first before going back around with a torque wrench to tighten them down to the manufacturer's specified torque. This step is critical to avoid over-tightening, which can cause its own set of problems, including warping the valve cover or damaging the gasket.
- A valve cover gasket is a thin, flexible seal that sits between the valve cover and the engine block. Its primary function is to prevent oil, coolant, and other fluids from leaking out of the engine compartment. Over time, these seals can become worn or damaged due to heat, age, and exposure to harsh chemicals. When this happens, it can lead to leaks, which can cause serious damage to your engine if left untreated.
- Extra precautions are necessary to avoid damaging the seal when navigating over splines, keyways, or threads. Ample lubrication helps protect the seal lip during this delicate process.
Have you found the right oil seal for your application? The next step is fitting the oil seal correctly, so that it remains undamaged.

Slacken the alternator or dynamo adjuster and pivot bolts, push the unit inwards and ease off the drive belt. Remove the belt completely.
Improper installation can cause your oil seal to malfunction. While being tapped into place, it can become tilted or misaligned in the bore. That being said, setting it up correctly will help ensure that the sealing process is effective.
