O-rings are the most commonly used seals as they provide incredible value – very affordable, versatile, and efficient. They are made with several elastomer materials as to the application they will be used for, so it’s important that you know the materials an o-ring is made of before purchase.
Over time, the rear valve cover gasket can degrade due to heat, pressure, and exposure to engine fluids, causing leaks. These leaks can lead to oil loss, engine damage, reduced efficiency, and even complete engine failure if left unchecked These leaks can lead to oil loss, engine damage, reduced efficiency, and even complete engine failure if left unchecked

Figure 5 explains the JTEKT seal numbering system.
Seal numbers consist of
(1) the seal type code,
(2) the spring code,
(3) the lip type code,
(4) the dimensional numbers, and
(5) the special type code,
and Table 6 shows examples of each of these codes/numbers.

An oil seal consists of:
The quality of the rubber or rubber fabric used to make an outer case is the same as the quality of the rubber sealing lip. Fabric reinforced rubber is, as the name suggests, rubber reinforced with a fabric.
The oil valve cover gasket is a vital component in ensuring the proper functioning of an engine. It is responsible for sealing the valve cover to prevent oil leaks and to maintain proper oil pressure within the engine. Without a functioning oil valve cover gasket, oil can leak out of the engine, causing damage and reducing efficiency. 3. Clean the Surfaces Use a clean cloth or brush to remove any remaining debris or residue from the valve cover and engine block surfaces. This will ensure a proper seal when installing the new gasket.In conclusion, spark plug wires and new spark plugs are essential components in the ignition system of internal combustion engines, contributing to the efficiency, performance, and reliability of the vehicle. Understanding the significance of these components and their proper maintenance and replacement is crucial for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle's ignition system.
