Abstract: A method for manufacturing a seal at a cylinder head of a vehicle motor includes providing a bearing groove at a cylinder head of a vehicle motor and providing a mold member for cooperating with the bearing groove to form the seal. The seal material is introduced into the mold member so as to provide a defined excess surpassing the volume of the sealing material required for filling the bearing groove. Curing of the seal material enclosed in the bearing groove and the mold member is achieved under pressure. The pressing device for performing the method includes a mold member with receiving groove for cooperation with the bearing groove of the cylinder groove.
Abstract: A composite member has a diecast part and a hub part that consists of a harder material than the diecast part. The diecast part is attached to the hub part by diecasting within a diecast mold. The hub part has at least one end face. The at least one end face has an annular sealing projection that, during diecasting of the diecast part, rests at a surface of the diecast mold and is deformed by the diecast mold.
