This seal divides the clean, cool air above the engine from the hot air and exhaust below it. When the rubber cracks, hardens or is missing, the fan draws hot air and road dirt back in, and the engine runs hotter than it should. It is one of the cheapest fixes for an engine that overheats in summer traffic, and a missing seal is one of the most common faults found on cars that have had the engine out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJP Group is a Danish maker of replacement parts for classic Volkswagens and Porsches, sold under the JP Group, Dansk and Classic names, with EMPI as its US distributor.
