Make sure there are no sharp edges in the bores they ride in.
Make sure the bent wire retainer is seated on the shoulders of the tubes. If they're coming out cracked or hardened after a few months, they probably aren't Viton... Viton is very heat resistant, and deals with oil just fine. Most of the Viton PR seals I've seen were brown in color; if yours are red or green they are likely OEM silicone, if black they may be silicone or Viton. --DD |
