Chris I do not know the size of this o-ring you & others
have had a problem with but I have been servicing automobiles
for 30 years, automatic trans & computer controlled sys. as
specialty, we use, in some places Teflon sealing rings in
various sizes ( 1/16" X 3/8" to 1.0" around, 1/8" X similar
diam. ) they are somewhat soft yet very strong, they have some
crush capability but I am sure they would not blow out with a
high pressure situation. Take an o-ring to any trans shop &
ask to match it to a Teflon ring. Check with Lynn. David.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Pesky front cover O-ring
Just pulled my front cover and low and behold that damned front
cover O-ring was fricken GONE. The retaining ring was in place
but no sign of the o-ring. Is it ok to pretty much glue this
damn thing in some how???? Lynn suggested a metal solution but
that is not in my skill set. I have halamar and used it last
time. Yes, I did instal the ring.
So, since I bought it I will be installing the new oil pump.
Heck, the old one is over 20 years old. If any of y'all has a
remedy for this damned thing slipping out you will have my
complete attention.
Oh, I am sending a picture or how I am making the front cover
area easier to get to :-)
