I was very careful last time with this, followed the directions of the late Captn,
just used oil as lube and slipped them in place. some leak some don't, many say no sealant some have used RTV - looking for more advice so I don't have to do this again Phil |

The oil ring is a simple solution to a hugely complex problem. Keeping a good seal while tolerating huge thermal variances and pressure swings that occur inside an engine is a not a small feat. It only takes a small imperfection for this system to fail. But adding sealant (especially silicon) like the Dr. says is a bad idea as it just creates potential problems. If a small part breaks loose you would be very lucky if it made it to your oil filter. if it loges in a small oil passage or restricts oil flow you are in for some serious damage. I would rather replace the oil tube seals for leaking than an engine because I used the wrong sealant in the wrong application. |

I tried all the above. Eventually bought new tubes and with the above advice,installed them - success!
