changing a valve cover gasket. Some gaskets may require a sealer; follow the manufacturer's instructions for application. Carefully align the valve cover back onto the engine, lining up the bolt holes, and gently tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to prevent distortion.
The sealing lip is always made of a rubber or synthetic material. For oil seals with a rubber outer case (R, RST, GR, GRST), the rubber quality of the sealing lip and the outer case are the same.
1) Common seal types and their features
Oil seals for steel production equipment
①
ERIKS type R (type A according to the DIN standard) is identical in shape to type M, but has a rubber outer case with metal reinforcement on the inside. The rubber creates a good seal in the housing, even if the housing has suffered minor damage or is not in its best condition for other reasons. The RST version has a dust lip. These types are often chosen to replace a type with a metal outer case because they are easier to install and can cope with minor damage to the groove, such as scratches.
Lift out the rags without dropping dirt into the engine, bores or passages.
Carefully lower the sump from the crankcase.

spark plug wires.
Heat and attrition are generated by the parts moving against each other. The sealing function can only be ensured if an intentional defined leakage of oil is able to exit for seal lubrication, preventing seal wear and possible failure, while a tight static seal between shaft and sealing lip must be assured when the shaft is stationary.

c15 valve cover gasket. If dirt or debris were to enter the engine, it could cause damage to sensitive components such as the valves and camshafts. By maintaining a tight seal with the valve cover gasket, you can keep your engine clean and free from contaminants.
