The installation process of A325 fasteners is critical and involves a two-step method - tensioning and tightening. This process not only ensures proper seating of the bolt but also creates a preload, which counteracts the forces that will be applied during service. This preload, known as 'prestress,' is what gives these fasteners their exceptional load-bearing capacity This preload, known as 'prestress,' is what gives these fasteners their exceptional load-bearing capacity

- Before installing the new spark plugs, it is important to check and adjust the gap to ensure proper ignition. Use a gap gauge to measure the gap between the center and ground electrodes of the spark plug. Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the correct gap specifications.
- The installation of these gaskets typically involves sliding them into a groove cut into one of the mating parts, where they sit snugly, forming a tight seal when the other part is secured in place. In some applications, the U-channel design allows for the gasket to be compression-fitted, offering an additional layer of security against leaks.
- Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of spark plugs. Replacing plugs at the recommended intervals can prevent misfires, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce the risk of engine damage. It is also important to ensure that the ignition system is functioning correctly, as poor contact or damaged wires can also cause spark plug problems.
Also, sealant should never be used on the housing and the installation guidelines, as discussed earlier, should be followed.
Over time, the seal lip(s) will wear a shallow groove into the shafting due to the pressure the seal imposes upon it. Visible scoring on the shaft indicates a genuine possibility that the seal will not perform as well as intended. The potential for lubricants leaking out and particulates working their way through the seal drastically increases when placed over a worn location.
