There may be a rubber '0' ring oil seal round the base of the distributor, or a paper gasket under the plate of the securing clamp. Remove either seal, clean away all dirt and oil, and fit the new one.

Overall, the spark plug factory plays a critical role in the production of these essential components for internal combustion engines. Through careful craftsmanship, precision manufacturing, and rigorous quality control, spark plug factories ensure that vehicles and machinery can operate at peak performance and efficiency. The dedication and expertise of the workers in these factories contribute to the smooth functioning of engines around the world. An oil seal, often referred to as an 'oil gasket', is a circular ring that fits snugly into the grooves of the engine's crankshaft or camshaft. Its primary function is to prevent engine oil from escaping while allowing the shaft to rotate freely. It also prevents contaminants like dust and debris from entering the engine, which could cause significant damage. In conclusion, car engine head gaskets and automotive rubber gaskets are essential components in vehicle systems, contributing to the efficiency, performance, and reliability of automotive systems. Understanding the significance of these gaskets and their proper maintenance and replacement is crucial for optimizing the performance and longevity of the vehicle.
ERIKS type M (type B according to the DIN standard) has a single metal casing and rubber sealing lip. Since the casing is made of metal, it must be fitted in a well-finished, undamaged groove. Large volumes of oil seals with metal casings are often cheaper, which is why they are often used as original equipment in machines. However, if an oil seal has to be replaced, types with a rubber exterior (type R or RST) are easier to fit. Type MST is similar to M and commonly used. The difference is the dust lip in the MST oil seal that prevents dust and dirt reaching the sealing lip, and extends its service life in dusty environments.
