In conclusion, rubber valve cover gaskets and valve cover gasket sets are essential components in automotive engines, contributing to the efficiency, performance, and reliability of the engine. Understanding the significance of these gaskets and their proper maintenance and replacement is crucial for optimizing the performance and longevity of the engine.

By first finding out the dimensions of the inner and outer diameters and the height of the bore, you have all the data for the correct size of the oil seal. Of course, the oil seal must also be able to withstand the pressure, temperature and medium it is exposed to within the seal during the manufacturing process. You can read more about this in our oil seal selection guide.
O.D. (outside diameter) surface The O.D. surface affixes the oil seal to the housing and prevents leakage , through the fitting area, of substances to be sealed, while excluding contaminants.
We have different types of oil seals that are designed specifically for various industries, like aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, electronics, chemical analysis, food & beverage, engineering, and so on. Some of our other custom products are bellows, insulators, labware, bushings, ball valve seats, tubes, rods, films, and sheets.

After the oil seal is positioned in the groove, apply even pressure to the oil seal using a seal driver or a similar tool. This will help to seat the oil seal firmly in the groove and prevent it from moving during use. Make sure to apply the pressure evenly and gently, as applying too much force can damage the oil seal or cause it to deform.
