6. AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT: Seals perform better when lubricated but some machines will go through some dry spells. When this occurs using a leather or PTFE seal will be more beneficial as those type of seals can operate with less lubrication.
What are Oil Seals?
Valve cover gaskets and head gaskets are essential components in automotive engines, serving distinct yet crucial roles in maintaining the integrity and functionality of the engine. The valve cover gasket seals the junction between the valve cover and the cylinder head, preventing oil leaks and contaminants from entering the engine. On the other hand, the head gasket seals the cylinder head to the engine block, ensuring the containment of combustion gases and the separation of oil and coolant passages.
NBR rubber is above all resistant to oils, especially hydraulic oils, lubricants, petrol and other aliphatic hydrocarbons, diluted acids and lyes. Good physical values such as high friction resistance and ruggedness and good temperature resistance (-25 °C up to +120 °C, in part to -40 °C) give this natural rubber a wide range of uses.

O.D. (outside diameter) surface The O.D. surface affixes the oil seal to the housing and prevents leakage , through the fitting area, of substances to be sealed, while excluding contaminants.
