Bairdy13 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Hi guys, Would anyone happen to have a pic of the sealing face of a set of pt mids where the o ring goes? I dont think mine are in the best shape after loosing 2 new o rings after 2 rides. I just wanted to get an idea of what there ment to look like before I attempt to fix them.

Lepew Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 What year are your Paul Turners? The older ones did'nt have a grooove for the o-ring in the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairdy13 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 It has 92 on the plate though im not sure when they were made. I think I will just weld an over size washer type thing in there to flattern it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepew Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 To prevent the pipes from wearing into the cylinder slip a custom large washer over the exhaust then just seal the pipes with high temp silicone when you slip them on. They don't use the o-rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairdy13 Posted September 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Arrr sweet I didnt think about the silicon! Where abouts do u put the washer? between the exhaust and the jug on the exhaust port? Cheers :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepew Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Yes, You probably won't find a washer large enough that is thin. If you use a thick washer it may misaline the pipes to the silencers. I use high temp black silicone to seal all my pipes to the cylinders, even if the pipes use a oring. I don't like black goo running down the front of my motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Lepew 4 the help, very much appreciated. Edited September 16, 2007 by Bairdy13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepew Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 The washer fits over the exhaust port of the cylinder and the sharp edge of the pipe that normally wears into the cylinder will wear into the washer. You could put a washer into the pipe like you thought I meant, but I am not sure the pipe has a consistant shoulder for the washer to lay flat on.
