- Spark plug replacement is an essential aspect of routine car maintenance that often goes unnoticed until it becomes a problem. Spark plugs, the small but mighty components in your vehicle's engine, play a pivotal role in igniting the air-fuel mixture, thereby enabling your car to run smoothly. Over time, these plugs can wear out or become dirty, leading to reduced efficiency and performance.
- Regular maintenance checks should include inspecting the condition of the valve cover gasket and bolts. Any sign of wear, such as rust or stripped threads, should prompt immediate replacement. When replacing the gasket, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for bolt torque and sequence to avoid potential problems.
Sealing process
Type B Oil seals
Most oil seals are designed to support very low-pressure (8 psi or less) applications. If at all, there will be additional pressure along the way, pressure relief should be put into play. This is why it’s important to know the characteristics of the oil seals you are considering and compare them with your application.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, Teflon®)
Apply gasket sealant to the engine flange and refit the cover. Tighten the fixings but do not overtighten them.
