It is important to regularly inspect and replace worn-out piston oil seals to ensure the proper functioning of the engine. This can help to prevent costly repairs and extend the life of the engine.
× - The efficiency and longevity of a spark plug motor largely depend on the quality and condition of the spark plugs. They need to be clean, properly gapped, and firing consistently to ensure optimal performance. Regular maintenance, including replacing worn or dirty spark plugs, can significantly enhance fuel economy and reduce emissions.
- In addition to their chemical resistance, cork rubber gaskets also have excellent thermal stability

An effective way to ensure particles do not contaminate your oil seal is to store it in a container or sealed bag away from areas where dust and debris are prevalent. Resealable, heavy-duty plastics bags and bins are ideal for keeping your shaft seal protected.

The edge of the metal is finely ground after seal manufacture in a centerless grinder to enable an interference fit in the oil seal housing. A slight chamfer on the outer diameter (OD) of the seal is desirable for easy assembly. The sealing lip is prepared by buffing, grinding or cutting away the rubber flash which occurs at the sealing edge. A fine sealing edge creates sufficient pressure on the shaft to minimise spring load, leading to lower friction whilst maintaining effective seal performance. The garter spring plays an important role in the efficiency of the oil seal. If its tension is too high, heat will be generated between the sealing lip and the shaft, and result in rapid wear of the lip. If too low, the spring will be ineffective and the sealing lip will be worn away leading to leakage of the fluid.
What are Oil Seals and how should they be ordered?
Maintenance and Replacement of Seals:
Chemical Attack
Oil seals are used to keep chemicals apart from lubricants such as oil/fat or water away to keep spinning shafts or bearings in proper working condition. Rotary shaft Seals are among the most commonly used seals for sealing lubricating oil, water or grease in different applications.
