Title: O ring alert
Post by: Carolyn on March 25, 2018, 12:28

I've sent out a couple of tensioner O rings made from EPDM, which is supposed to have good compatibility with oil.

I put one in my car, and it has swollen and softened. (May be the additives in fully synth).

Any way, I've ordered a bunch of Viton ones.

If I've sent you one in the last couple of weeks, send me a PM and I'll get a Viton one out to you.

Mitch and Jeff, I've already messaged you.

Sorry about that!

I'll send you a new one. PM your address again, please.

Get some 400 grit and work it around in the ally, wipe it out with a paper towel...
