In addition to their strength and durability, galvanized A325 bolts offer several advantages over other types of fasteners
- When replacing, the PTFE sealing lip of the new oil seal should not be in the same position as the old oil seal. The diameter of the sealing lip should be smaller than the shaft diameter.

Rubber type
No matter the PTFE machining techniques and other processes used in making mechanical parts, they tend to fail due to some reasons. The same thing applies to oil seals. When they are exposed to some factors, they fail. The factors are stated below alongside the solutions.
THE DIFFERENT SIZES OF OIL SEALS

Lay out the pieces of the new gasket on clean newspaper, and note how the joints fit.
The metal case is the exterior (or frame) of the oil seal, the principal function of which is to give rigidity and strength to the seal. The material of the case must be selected depending on the environment where the seals are to be used. Often the metal case is covered by the same rubber material used in the sealing element, which also helps seal the exterior of the oil seal in the housing bore. Common case material types are:
GVST
Preparation
Rubber oil seals have to perform in extreme conditions. Therefore, we accommodate all relevant conditions (mechanical and thermo-chemical phase) to maintain the integrity of the rubber oil seal in these circumstances.
■Viscosity-index improvers: These additives help your engine oil perform as intended despite temperature fluctuations.
Silicone
Wide temperature range
Commonly used in low temperature applications
Very prone to mechanical damage during fitting
Materials used
Oil seals, also known as rotary shaft seals, are a type of gasket used to prevent lubricant leakage and contamination in rotating machinery by creating a barrier between the moving and stationary parts.
