Satsol67 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Can the O rings be reused on a cool head? They look fine. They dont feel dried out or broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamKazam Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 (edited) Then yes, but I would probably just replace them while you have the head off. If you decide to put the old ones back in, make sure you put a thin coat of grease on the o-rings before installing them. Also be sure that they are not hung up or pinched against anything when putting the head back on. Edited May 21, 2006 by IamKazam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capone Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I usually use vasoline cause its petroleum based, but this time I used grease. W/e is tacking enough to hold the rings in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsol67 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Any one know how to get ahold of Jeff? I would like to replace them. Plus I need water pump gasket, base gasket, and the O ring for the clutch cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satsol67 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I ordered the oring kit from Noss. They didnt have the other parts i needed so i went to the local dealer. 35 bucks for 2 base gaskets. Man what a rip off! I am realling hopping I can get this together for the weekend. As I sit for parts to come in. A question about oil. Should I use the Bel-Ray Gear Saver for the break in? I am just a little scared to use it because all this happen right after I switched to Bel-Ray. I doubt that had anything to do with it but thats in the back of my mind. What would cause the motor to just go like that? I am hoping just age. It had a piston slap when i bought it. Would it be running lean? It has 280 mains, T5's, and boysen reeds. Thanks for any input.

dajogejr Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 I've been using a thin coat of Hi Temp RTV on my rings, I wouldn't recommend using them more than twice...unless you're in a bind. This allows them to stick to the surface, as well as seal properly... If you're using BelRay Gearsaver as a premix, I'd definetaly say you'd have problems.... If you mean saver for the cases, it's just fine. I've used that for years in all my 2 stroke trannys...never a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satsol67 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Yes I ment for the tranny. I would hate to spend all this $$ for it to happen again. Not correcting the problem if there was one. I am going nuts waiting for the parts to come in. I have polished everything I could ..lol I even stripped the paint off the clutch cover and polished it. I was reading the breaking in proccess by motoman and he says to use 10/40 for the break in. Changing it at 20 miles but to keep using it for the first 1500 miles then go back to your favorite oil. So I am confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 10/40 for the break in on the trans? Never heard that one. There are two schools of thought on break in... I ride it like I stole it after a few heat cycles on the engine. Can't say I've ever had to break a tranny in...so, I'd just ride it like you normally would...

Satsol67 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 What kiond of statement is that? Can't say I've ever had to break a tranny in...so, I'd just ride it like you normally would... Why would i break in a tranny when i am rebuilding the top end? And last time i read the manual it says to use 10/30 SAE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar01 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I believe Toomey recommends 10W-40 all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron 519719[/snapback] You asked the question...you said Bel Ray Gearsaver oil and break in in the same sentence. Gear Saver is TRANNY oil, not premix. So, I'm confused as all hell on what you're trying to ask. The next sentence you talked about Piston slap. ReRead what I've quoted above...do see where it doesn't make sense now?
