Oil seals are always exposed to a lot of chemicals, both mild and harsh chemicals. The seals react by showing some signs like cracks, blisters, and discoloration especially when the chemical is harsh. This clearly shows that the chemical is not compatible with the seal, which goes as far as affecting its cross-link density (increase or decrease). When the cross-link density increases, the seal material becomes harder, but when it decreases, the seal material becomes softer.
Thoroughly clean the sleeve at the back of the pulley, and look for any roughness on it where it touches the seal. If necessary, smooth it with fine wet-and-dry abrasive paper.

The valve cover gasket, nestled between the cylinder head and the valve cover, serves as a sealant, preventing oil leaks and maintaining the necessary pressure within the engine. In the case of the LS3, this function is even more critical due to the high RPMs and intense operating conditions these engines are subjected to. The LS3, known for its potent power output and exceptional reliability, relies heavily on the integrity of its valve cover gasket.

Regular maintenance of the spark plug ignition coil is essential to ensure optimal engine performance. This includes checking for any signs of wear or damage, such as cracks in the casing or corrosion on the connectors. It is also important to replace the ignition coil as part of the recommended maintenance schedule to prevent any potential issues from arising.
Refit the rocker or cam cover, aligning its fixing holes with those on the head. Check that the gasket edge aligns with the cover flange all round, and is not distorted. If necessary, adjust it gently with tweezers or long-nosed pliers. Tighten bolts evenly to just compress the gasket.
The steering gear sector shaft is located inside of the steering gear box, and turns the pitman arm when activated by the steering wheel. This causes the wheels to turn. The steering gear sector shaft seal keeps fluid from leaking out of the steering gear box. The fluid inside the gearbox keeps the rotating parts moving smoothly while preventing metal-on-metal contact. If you notice fluid leaking around the steering box, pitman arm, or sector shaft, check the steering gear sector shaft seal for damage. If you need replacement steering parts or seals, check out O'Reilly Auto Parts and find the right fit for your car, truck, or SUV.
Oil seals are also known as rotary shaft seals or lip seals. They are flexible rings of elastomer designed to secure boundaries between moving and stationary components in a machine. Although these rings are flexible, they are durable enough to withstand wear, tear, friction, and exposure to oil.
Durability is another important factor to consider when choosing a spark plug, and the Spark Plug 794 00082 excels in this area as well. With its robust construction and high-quality materials, this spark plug is designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and maintain its performance over the long term. This means that you can rely on this spark plug to provide consistent ignition performance, even in the most demanding driving conditions.
