- Screw Type Select the correct drive type (like Phillips, hex, or square) to match your tools and facilitate easier installation.
- Now, it's time to install the new gasket. Ensure it perfectly fits the contours of the valve cover and the cylinder head Ensure it perfectly fits the contours of the valve cover and the cylinder head

changing a valve cover gasket. Some gaskets may require a sealer; follow the manufacturer's instructions for application. Carefully align the valve cover back onto the engine, lining up the bolt holes, and gently tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to prevent distortion.
- Another way to test spark plug wires is by using a multimeter. This tool can measure the resistance of the wires to determine if they are still conducting electricity effectively. To do this, disconnect the spark plug wires from the spark plugs and the ignition coil. Set the multimeter to the resistance setting and touch the leads to the terminals of the wires. The resistance reading should be within the specified range for the wires to be considered in good condition.
A standard oil seal consists of an outer circular metal disk with an inner flexible rubber which is affixed to the metal during vulcanization. The bonded seal has no loose parts to allow leakage of oil or ingress of any contaminants. This kind of seal is more accurate, and can easily be fitted into a smaller space. An example is shown in Figure 2.9.

An oil seal is designed to perform three major functions: to prevent lubricants from leaking outside the seal even under high pressure, to act as a barrier to retain the lubricating oil, and to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the unit.
The performance of these seals depends to a large extent on a suitable unit load being maintained at the seal-shaft interface. These seals withstand a pressure of 15PSI and their working depends on parameters like shaft diameter, shaft speed, working temperature, service conditions, etc
Silicone Oil Seals - Designed to absorb lubricants in order to lessen wear and friction, silicone rotary shafts also offer high thermal resistance and a large temperature range. But, they do not handle abrasions well or interact with oxidized oils.
■Dispersants: This is your oil’s magic ingredient. It gives your oil the ability to absorb and hold solid contaminants so that they don’t damage the engine.
