- Finally, the installation of LS1 spark plugs is a relatively straightforward process that can be performed by most DIY enthusiasts. However, it's important to choose the right type and size of spark plug to ensure optimal performance and longevity. With the right tools and knowledge, anyone can install these high-performance spark plugs and enjoy the benefits they offer.
Oil seal characteristics
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.
Before you start installing oil seals, you need to choose the right size and type of oil seal for your application. Oil seals come in a variety of sizes and materials, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs. Consider factors such as temperature, pressure, and fluid compatibility when choosing an oil seal.
Viton Oil Seals - A synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer, Viton is used to make oil seals that provide resistance in both high temperature, up to 250°C and low compression set components. They also offer a high resistance to chemicals and abrasions, so they can be used in elements that regularly interact with petroleum and solvents.
Some gaskets are in two or three pieces dove-tailed together. Make sure the pieces join up properly.
Check the materials and surfaces
Loosen the securing-clamp bolt at the base of the distributor, then carefully withdraw the distributor.

Construction of an Oil Seal
The sealing process involves the interaction between the rotating shaft and the elastomeric material, resulting in a dynamic barrier that prevents fluid leakage and maintains system integrity.
Description:
⑤
-40 °C to + 90 °C
This is a specific type of synthetic rubber that’s commonly used in o-rings, gaskets, oil seals, sterile & chemical resistant gloves, and other molded items. Viton has a high density and it possesses the widest temperature range of -40 degrees Fahrenheit to more than 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This is why it’s highly preferred as the best material for higher temperature applications.
Remove the distributor cap . Before removing the distributor (See Removing and refitting the distributor ), mark the position of the rotor arm so that you can refit it just as it was.
