Abstract
A plastic component, usable in a combustion engine, is made by forming an elastomeric seal onto at least one support element. The support element, complete with the seal, is placed in a cavity or fixture of a plastic injection mold, and the plastic component is created only by forming plastic material onto the support element. The finished plastic component with the molded-on seal is removed from the cavity.
