Porsche Spark Plug Tube Seal - Reinz 71-27159-00

Product Information

A spark plug tube seal is a rubber or silicone gasket that sits at the top of the spark plug tube, preventing engine oil from leaking into the tube and onto the spark plugs. It ensures a clean, dry environment for proper ignition and helps maintain engine performance and reliability. Over time, the seal can harden or crack due to heat and oil exposure, requiring replacement to prevent misfires and oil contamination.

• Oil leaks into spark plug wells, causing fouled or misfiring plugs.
• Check Engine Light illumination, often triggered by misfires.
• Visible oil seepage around the valve cover or spark plug tube area.

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
