Seals are essential to protecting the bearings of any rotating shaft assembly -They prevent contaminants such as dirt, dust and water, while also preserving the system’s lubricant.
By first finding out the dimensions of the inner and outer diameters and the height of the bore, you have all the data for the correct size of the oil seal. Of course, the oil seal must also be able to withstand the pressure, temperature and medium it is exposed to within the seal during the manufacturing process. You can read more about this in our oil seal selection guide.
The quality and condition of diesel glow plugs significantly impact the overall efficiency of the engine Maintaining the spark plug is just as important. Regular cleaning and inspection can prevent issues such as fouling, which occurs when unburned fuel or carbon deposits accumulate on the plug. This can lead to engine misfires, reduced power, or difficulty starting This can lead to engine misfires, reduced power, or difficulty startingThe pulley may slide off easily; if not, use a universal puller, which you may be able to hire.
Garter springs are generally used when the lubricant is oil, as it provides the necessary downward force to maintain a tight seal. However, when grease is the lubricant, garter springs can often be eliminated. Due to its low viscosity, grease doesn’t require as much downward force to maintain an effective seal.
