The sealing lip & spring on an oil seal should face toward the fluid being sealed. True or False
Intake manifolds can be made of plastic or aluminum. True or False
Exhaust manifolds are typically steel or cast iron. True or False
Oil pumps should be primed with high temperature wheel bearing or chassis grease to prevent dry starts. True or False
Variable valve timing is done through hydraulic actuators on the cam sprockets & PCM controlled solenoids that switch oil flow. True or False
