When I replaced the o-rings on my pushrod tubes I noted that whoever had been in there previously had gooped the ends with silicon. The o-rings were pretty shot, so I thought that it was a cheap fix and got a chuckle out of it. Now I'm wondering if I should have added it.
Any thoughts? Thanks |

Like Mark said. The new viton (sp?) seals are very good on their own. I did mine two years ago and of the 16 seals, only two seep just a tiny bit (probably my fault).
FYI - FAT Performance is notorious for caulking the crap out of them with RTV. -Ben M. |
