I'm changing the Pushrod Tube O-Rings and I was wondering if I should use some sealant on them, or lightly oil them, or leave dry. Please Advise.
The ones coming out have some chafing, some chunks out, and some sealant on them. Such is the GEX rebuild... Attached image(s)

QUOTE(Spoke @ Aug 21 2010, 08:15 PM)  I'm changing the Pushrod Tube O-Rings and I was wondering if I should use some sealant on them, or lightly oil them, or leave dry. Please Advise. The ones coming out have some chafing, some chunks out, and some sealant on them. Such is the GEX rebuild... Only oil, in no way sealant. I usually install them (pushrod with o-ring assy.) with a twisting motion of the pushrod. Once in (o-rings) I like to slightly tap the pushrod with a same size socket just to be sure it's all the way in. I hope it sounds clear? |
