SvrdRam Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Posted June 16, 2006 might put some grease around the cylinder flange and push like a mad man. they shoudl go on you sure you have the correct o rings?? yea.......greased them like mad and had two of us pushin them on.......and nothing......i miced the cylinder and the exhaust flange and its on a .010 dif... dont think theres a way in hell to get the O ring to compress that much.......oh BTW im usein the stock replacement O rings.....or do i need a special sized O ring for the rocket pipes......i did my old FMF pipes without a hitch......so i dunno guys......im lost here :shrug: Quote
wesw Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 should go on. did one of you push and the other wiggle it. lol who made your pipes. maybe they did soemthing different or somethign with the new ones. :shrug: Quote
Fireman-hott Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Been awhile since I"ve been on here. Anyway Ram mic the groove for the O-ring you might need a smaller thickness O-ring. That comes down to how well they copied the pieces at the CNC shop. Might try taking the ID measurement and the OD measurement and goto a local hydraulic shop (they usually have gobs of different sized o-rings) and get the next size up ID WISE on the o-ring. Maybe an 1/8th inch or .125 inches. See if that alleviates your problem. First time I've ever heard of that problem personally. Chris Quote

Chris i got mine from borrinkt awhile back.....nice new pipes...... i have an O ring splice kit i use while buildin air struts and stuff .... would that work or do i need to find some high temp O rings....i father works at fords as skilled trades and he cant find any high temp ones at work ??? :baseball_bat: Quote
Fireman-hott Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 High temp would be ideal or some silicone ones also. I dont think a splice kit would work as you would need thinner o-rings not smaller ones. Anything like rubber eventually will breakdown from the intense heat at that point. So High-temp is preferred.

Yaxy Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Black High Temp RTV is the way to go. Chris Quote
