O ring probs

[BarryB]

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

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

Your Mazda dealer will be able to supply a single seal for you Barry.
If you have any probs let me know and I will get one for you.
