nitrocircus Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 i just got a set of big bore stroker domes and i cant seem to keep the bottom o-rings on them to install them because the seats are bigger , do they need big bore o-rings?

Burt Reynolds Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Did the o-rings and domes/head all come from the same place? If you coat them with a little all purpose grease,just enough to make them tacky,they will stay i their grooves for installation. Thats how i have always done it.

jbooker82 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Coat the o rings with some vasoline. It will melt when you first fire it up. Put the o ring on the dome, then set the dome over the cylinder. Do the same for the other one. Then put the o rings on the shell. Then slide the shell on. Dont try do put the domes in the shell and slide the whole thing on at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Not that I know of. I just used the regular ProDesign o ring kit when I ran big bore domes. They some times were tricky to get to stay on but I found if I done it like above I didnt have to many problems. josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrocircus Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 thanks i got them in but it was tricky they kept falling off even with vasoline but it helped a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedder Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Try white lithium in a spray. The carrier dries in a few minutes and the rings stay in place pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
