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 |

Rheet - Rheet - Rheet - Rheet (Psyco music) As long as it worked for you. To me that looks like "let's see how small a blob of silicone it takes to ruin an engine" The reason there's an O ring there is because the engine expands and contracts, and the O ring seal will allow some movement due to thermal expansion |
