Chariot cool head

[Roccdeezy]

I just purchased one of the Chariot cool heads. I am having a hell of a time keeping the orings in place while putting the head on. Anyone have experience with this head and the install. Also I want to double check that I used the correct o-rings. I installed one under each dome. one around the combustion chamber of each dome where it seats to the cylinder and two additional o-rings that sit on the edge of the head that also seats to the cylinder. There was another ring for the water jacket mount as well. I had two small o-rings left over and I assume they may be for a different head design or dome design. Let me know if you guys have any input. Thanks!

 

Will grease be OK to hold the orings on the head for installation. I'm leary of this because rubber does not always bond well with grease. I tried 927 but it is not thick enough to hold the orings in place.

Thanks! I just wasn't sure how the rubber rings would bond with grease.

i know alot of people including me who use vaseline beacause its alot less toxic, i'm not 100% sure of it, but some greases may have chemicals in them that will harden or soften the o-rings or case certain reactions from the temperatures they are exposed to, vaselline pretty much just melts off at like 80 degrees, plus its clear...to me i always take the better safe than sorry route

I use vaseline, the heat will eventually evaporate it.
