Some uses for the old oil change O rings
Some uses for the old oil change O rings
Put some bling on the heater control valves
( cleaned with lacquer thinner, then 2 coats of Kilz, then ceramic caliper paint ) :
Cover up those rusty threads on the water pump pulley :
AND, I'm pretty sure the really big one will fit the throttle body, but haven't personally verified that.

I'm two years away from retirement and I'm trying to find every excuse I can to put it off, but the wife is breaking my coconuts about it and wants me to take early retirement. I keep asking her, and do what? Travel? I already do that for a living now!!
Re: Some uses for the old oil change O rings
The O-ring for the throttle body should be Viton, the regular O-ring can not take the temperature for extended periods of time and hardens up.
Re: Some uses for the old oil change O rings
Agreed, but can you explain why the O ring is almost completely deteriorated each time someone removes a TB ?

I figured ,it was raining at George's house today or he had been banished to the garage,, for some reason...lol.
Re: Some uses for the old oil change O rings
What I can't figure is that this same O ring is in the oil filter assembly that also averages 190 F, so why wouldn't it deteriorate there too ?

Remember the O-ring in the dip stick tube that was brittle a week or so ago?
Re: Some uses for the old oil change O rings
OK, you convinced me. Viton it will be.

Yeah retirement is a bit ch as you never get a day off and there is no sick leave or freedom from the knowledge that your ON YOUR OWN TIME and your near the end so DONT WASTE IT! Been running from project to project with no let up, work was a time to think about projects and you could think of the free time and what you could do on your time OFF..............................Enjoy, WOODY

Re: Some uses for the old oil change O rings
W.C. Fields, a notoriously non religious man, known for his hard drinking, was found reading a bible on his deathbed. An astonished friend asked him what he was doing, to which Fields replied "Looking for a loophole". I have found that retirement brings a whole new batch of "things" to do, to the point that you wonder how you got anything done before retirement.
