Gaskets and oil seals are crucial for sealing and preventing fluid and gas leaks. Seals are used between various engine components to ensure that no oil, coolant or combustion gases escape. Oil seals, also known as radial shaft seals, seal rotating shafts and prevent lubricants from escaping.
High-quality seals and oil seals contribute to the longevity and reliability of the engine. When servicing the engine, these parts should be checked regularly and replaced if necessary to prevent leaks. A damaged gasket or a defective oil seal can lead to considerable engine damage and loss of performance.
