* Durability Bamboo is one of the strongest natural fibers, making it incredibly durable and resistant to wear and tear.
- d. Fluorocarbon Rubber (FKM) – is widely known under the Chemours (formerly Dupont™) trade name of Viton® and offers the best resistance to chemicals and superior performance to high temperatures.
- The 5.7-liter Hemi engine is known for its power and reliability. However, like any engine, it requires proper maintenance to perform at its best. One of the most important aspects of maintaining a Hemi engine is replacing the valve cover gasket when necessary. A high-quality gasket will provide a tight seal, ensuring that fluids stay where they belong and preventing leaks.
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.

9 Factors for Selecting Oil Seals

Usually, these oil seals are used to seal lubricating oil or grease and contain it within the application, so that moving parts such as bearings are continually supplied with enough lubrication. However, such seals are also used for sealing other liquids, gases, and solids, such as powders or granules.

Additionally, lubricants can be used on both sides of the oil seal to reduce friction and enhance sealing performance. The sealing process is crucial for preventing contaminants from entering machinery or equipment while keeping essential fluids contained within.
The advantages are low friction and minimum power consumption, the possible use even in case of insufficient lubrication, operating range of -130º c to +200º c and much more: high chemical resistance and a low breakaway torque after standstill. Further, the PTFE, when heated, can” remember” its original form and return to it (phenomenon known as” plastic memory effect”).Therefore, this kind of seal do not need the old school metallic spring.
