Title: O ring probs
Post by: BarryB on September 20, 2004, 10:22:49 PM

Hi guys,
Whilst attempting to rebuild my engine for the THIRD time I seem to have manage to stretch one of the O rings, the outer water seal.
Any tricks to getting them to shrink a bit?
I\'ve tried boiling it for a bit, but no joy.
If not, can I buy just one O ring from somewhere? and how much?

cheers

Barry

Hi Barry,
I find that heat makes them stretch more,try cold water,if it is stretched too much then yes you should be able to buy a single seal.
Kind regards
Carl
