- Check the Water Pump Since the water pump is often driven by the timing belt, it is advisable to replace it simultaneously if it shows signs of wear. This can save you labor costs in the future.
Engine Oil Seal:
An oil seal is designed to perform three major functions: to prevent lubricants from leaking outside the seal even under high pressure, to act as a barrier to retain the lubricating oil, and to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the unit.
Once you have selected the most suitable seal available, considering the environment, temperature, shaft speed, pressure, lubrication availability, as well as the size, of course, the seal should be stored adequately and then fitted properly. Here are a few suggestions that could help:-
Pressure:
Over time, the seal lip(s) will wear a shallow groove into the shafting due to the pressure the seal imposes upon it. Visible scoring on the shaft indicates a genuine possibility that the seal will not perform as well as intended. The potential for lubricants leaking out and particulates working their way through the seal drastically increases when placed over a worn location.


Overall, the 25x47x7 oil seal is a critical component in many machines and engines, offering durability, reliability, and versatility in sealing oil leaks. By choosing a high-quality oil seal and following proper installation and maintenance procedures, machine operators can benefit from optimal performance and efficiency in their equipment.

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.
