Getting the Wheeling Fever
I have a set of jv plugs ready to install on a 2.6 Problem is that the o-rings were toast when I' pulled them from the donor engine. Do I need actual high temp o-rings (which seem to be quite hard to find around here, everyone wants to sell mass qtys at a time only). OR, can I just goop them with a good quality high temp sealant that is oil/fuel compatible?

i am not sure but i feel that maybe o rings would hate for that silicone to come loose and pack up the oil pick up


iwould at least find regular oil resistant o rings

Thanks, definitely looks like a great source! Local Fastenal guy said he's try to get me some "samples" from the distributor of an oil resistant 450 degree variant, hopefully that will pan out.
