Lightbulb Atkins Viton Oil Control oring install

I know most people research these beforehand. I read posts about difficulty installing these. Even read that people were breaking metal oil control rings while trying to seat with these orings.

I never did a rebuild before... I was able to install and seat these in less than 10 minutes lubricated WELL... and a large part of that was making sure my springs were correctly placed in the rotor.

I wasn't going to post this but I figured the other posts place doubt about the product for some reason however it is really hard to invision these as being difficult to install unless you have some other underlying issues.

Good price & good product.

This thread is not about Viton itself as there are many posts on Viton and after reading them I decided to buy them.
