(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) ditto on use of viton material o-rings it is best for the high temps and will last much longer than less material. be sure to lube the oring, o-rings are designs to have some lube to help them move into postion to seal, no lube and they can bind and cause a leak.
it is very very importnat to make sure the seal areas are super clean, you really need a flash light and mirror to insepct teh surfaces prior to install, one speck of grit and the seal may leak. also it is very easy to pinch an o-ring when assembling (lube helps reduce this posibility) so after you have the push rod tube installed, again use a flash light and mirror to inspect that no rubber is pinched and exposed out fo the sealing surfaces, this can happen easily. to help prevent this pinching it is helpfull to rotate teh push rod tube back and forth as you insert it. if an o-ring does start to extrude out of the seal area use a blunt wood stick to help it back in place as you release the tube and push it back in. again you should re-insect the installed tubes ends with mirroe and flash light to confirm that no seal got extruded out of the seal area, look all aournd 360 degrees on each tube to confirm the seal is not popped out in any location. better to find that problem now than finding it when it leaks. have fun (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |
