AKheathen Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 clean all the crap out of the o-ring grooves first, then lube it with spit and install with pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemon Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Paul turners dont have o ring grooves, at least the ones I have had didnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busaboy Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 they are puking oil and smoke out of them... theres a little lip where they would butt against the Cylinder head looks like thats where a o ring would go just taking a guess tho as i dont have a clue... i bought the fmf o rings and spring kit but the o ring is like 1/4 to big..can i just use a high temp silicone and slide the expansion chambers back on? would it seal it?

papa_smurf49319 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Some pipes are just slip on and you use high temp silicon and just slid them over the cylinder, dont get to crazy on the high temp though. Other pipes such as the stockers have a groove in the pipe flange itself, this is where the oring goes. To me it sound like you were trying to install the orings on the cylinders themself, maybe i just misunderstood you. Also i do know that paul turners have a spot for orings on the head pipes, maybe the older sets did not? Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellbroke Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 I only got two 0 rings and 4 springs with the FMF kit I bought and they couldn't fit in the pipe and they just slipped on the cylinder so I don't know where else they would go. I have gold series on my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
