O ring and seals question
57 oval - May 16th, 2010 at 08:14 AM

Just bought a gasket overhaul kit for a 1600 T/P and although I know that they supply gaskets and seals for most engine sizes in the kit, what is the about 50mm O ring for ? also there are six thick O rings about 13mm dia.
there is a seal / oring type about 25mm and while I am in asking mode two black rubbers about 10mm high about 10 mm outside with about an 8mm bore and four browny colour 12mm outside dia 8 mm bore and about 8 mm high.
I have fitted a new set of barrels and pistons and new heads to my twin port but havent seen these items any were in my travels, also about to do the rear main seal, do 1600 T/P have a oring in the inside bore of the flywheel? any help appreciated
Cheers

sounds like the oil cooler seals

yep cooler seals

Nop not them, the set had two different types of oil cooler seals, used them, still the mistery seals

Browny colour or white (depending on supplier of engine set)may be the rocker shaft seals for the 40hp

some sets supply both types of seals

so depeneding on which engine you have

depends on which seals are used
