High-Performance Oil Seal Ring for Optimal Sealing in Industrial Applications tc oil seal
TC Oil Seals (also called timing cover oil seals) are engine components that prevent oil leakage between the timing cover and crankshaft. Here are the key points:
Function:
- Seals oil inside the timing cover/front engine cover
- Prevents contamination from external debris
- Maintains proper engine lubrication
Common characteristics:
- Made of synthetic rubber or similar elastomeric materials
- Features a metal case or outer ring for structural support
- Has a spring-loaded sealing lip that contacts the crankshaft
Signs of failure:
- Oil leaks at front of engine
- Oil drips under vehicle when parked
- Low oil level
- Burning oil smell
Replacement:
- Generally requires timing cover removal
- Should be replaced during timing belt/chain service
- Must be installed with proper orientation
- Requires clean mounting surfaces
