Selecting Quality Car Engine Head Gaskets and Automotive Rubber Gaskets

There are several key factors to consider when selecting the right oil seal to best protect your application.

Oil seals close spaces between moving or stationary mechanical components to prevent lubricants like grease and oil from escaping, while also preventing dust, dirt, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the seal. Also known as shaft seals, dirt seals, lip seals, or grease seals, the primary components of any oil seal include an inner metal ring, which provides structural support, and a spring, which provides interference for effective sealing.
