Once you have selected the most suitable seal available, considering the environment, temperature, shaft speed, pressure, lubrication availability, as well as the size, of course, the seal should be stored adequately and then fitted properly. Here are a few suggestions that could help:-
6. AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT: Seals perform better when lubricated but some machines will go through some dry spells. When this occurs using a leather or PTFE seal will be more beneficial as those type of seals can operate with less lubrication.

Choosing Quality Spark Plug Wires and New Spark Plugs
Amongst the several applications of oil seals, these are the most common three applications – o-rings, spring seals, and lip seals.

318 valve cover gasket. The old gasket must be carefully removed, and the surface of the valve cover and cylinder head cleaned before installing the new gasket. It is important to torque the bolts to the specified requirements to ensure a proper seal and prevent any leaks.
Polytetrafluoroethylene
Chemical resistant
Low coefficient of friction poor elastic properties not wear resistant if used by dynamic applications
Furthermore, iridium spark plugs are designed to withstand high temperatures and extreme conditions inside the engine. This means they are less prone to fouling and misfiring, even under intense driving conditions. This reliability makes iridium spark plugs a great choice for performance cars or vehicles that are used for towing or heavy-duty applications.

In this guide, we will dwell deeply on oil seals and discuss everything that you need to know, such as what it is, how it works, why it fails sometimes, materials used in making it, factors to consider in choosing the right one for your application, and so on.
The basic principle of sealing is straightforward – the flexible lip is held against the rotating part (usually the shaft) whilst the casing (or O.D.) is pressed into the housing or bore and holds the seal in place. The sealing lip needs some form of lubrication to avoid overheating and is usually energized by means of a garter spring.
