In addition to starting the engine, the ignition spark plug also plays a role in regulating the engine's performance. A properly functioning spark plug can improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and maintain engine power. On the other hand, a faulty spark plug can lead to issues such as misfiring, rough idling, and poor acceleration.
Sealing of lip type seal is normally a result of an interference fit between the flexible sealing element, usually augmented by spring pressure and a shaft. Fluid retention is based on the precise amount of lip contact pressure. In most lip seals, increased fluid pressure in the sealed area causes lip contact pressure on the shaft to increase.
Temperature - Just like pressure, the temperature that your oil seal will be operating in must be known so that you can choose one that can withstand the heat or cold. PTFE have the widest range of temperature, making them useful for machines who can see usage in extreme weather or elements.
The valve cover gasket, nestled between the cylinder head and the valve cover, serves as a sealant, preventing oil leaks and maintaining the necessary pressure within the engine. In the case of the LS3, this function is even more critical due to the high RPMs and intense operating conditions these engines are subjected to. The LS3, known for its potent power output and exceptional reliability, relies heavily on the integrity of its valve cover gasket.On engines that rotate anti clockwise (viewed from the front) the pulley bolt unscrews clockwise.
