slktrik Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 when reinstalling the coolhead do you put the orings in dry or coat them with something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbanshee8 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Put vaseline, or grease on the o-rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTS355 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Put vaseline, or grease on the o-rings. X2 you dont have to cake it on there, just a nice thin film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slktrik Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 thanks for the help, soon i will have the 19cc domes in there. (they were already supposed to be in but found 22cc domes instead.) guess thats why one should do their own work lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Use Vasoline or Petrolium Jelly, not grease. Grease will stay chuncky and if some gets in to your radiator it could start to plug it up. It obvesly isnt going to happen the first time you do it but it can cause a build up. Vasoline will melt and disperse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbanshee Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 i just put my coolhead back on and i noticed the o rings woulds sit right and i didnt want to use any of that bull in the motor. so i worked bottom up i took the cylinders off (i was rebuilding my top end) hooked everything up to the cylinders then attached the cylinders to the bottom end. kind of a pain in the ass but it worked seals good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin8r Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I used a little grease on the rings... Not a whole lot; as mentioned above, just a thin film--enough to make them sticky. I guess there is no real easy way--just go slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
