Regular inspection and maintenance of spark plugs are essential to identify signs of wear, fouling, or deterioration. Proper replacement of worn or fouled spark plugs, including the transition to iridium spark plugs where applicable, is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of the vehicle's ignition system. Adhering to recommended service intervals and using high-quality replacement components are essential for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle's engine.

The oil seal would seal one face against a rotating member and the other face to a stationary housing. It would prevent dirt from coming between the hub or shaft and the seal.

Helix Seal

The seal shown in Fig. 14.2 is a relatively simple design; most automotive seals are more complex. Dust lips are often used to keep outside contaminants away from the oil lip seals; such seals thus have undercuts that make demolding more difficult. Fluoroelastomer compounds used for such undercut shapes must have reasonably high elongation at break at molding temperatures to avoid tearing the part during demolding. The metal insert is often U-shaped, and stock may be molded to form a thin layer over the outside of the insert. Since both compression and injection molding methods are used, suppliers of fluoroelastomers for shaft-seal applications often must provide different versions of the same polymer composition-medium to high viscosity for compression molding, and low to medium viscosity for injection molding. Different precompounds may be necessary to accommodate relatively long compression-molding times at low temperature and very short injection-molding times at high temperature.

A piston oil seal, also known as a piston seal ring, is a critical component in an internal combustion engine. It plays a crucial role in preventing oil leakage from the piston and ensuring efficient engine operation.

A number of variables must be considered when selecting oil seals. There are nine factors that designers and maintenance engineers must evaluate when oil seals are specified:
