Installation inaccuracies
In addition to the installation procedure, our specialists and suppliers would also like to draw your attention to some cases that occur around oil seals.

Leather is probably the oldest of the lip materials still in common use, but the move towards mass production methods has seen a massive increase in the development of synthetic rubbers which lend themselves to accurate and repeatable injection and compression moulding. Nitrile (NBR) is still by far the most common elastomer for “normal” use, whilst Viton® (FKM/FPM) is rapidly replacing Polyacrylate (ACM) and Silicone (VMQ) for high-temperature applications. Viton® also has high resistance to abrasion and chemical attack making it a preferred elastomer. Recent developments in the use of PTFE for Rotary shaft seals has caused widespread interest particularly for high-speed shaft rotation or poor lubrication applications.
It is important to regularly inspect and replace worn-out piston oil seals to ensure the proper functioning of the engine. This can help to prevent costly repairs and extend the life of the engine.
