Rotory engines get rather hot,,right,,so the next time you replace
any o-ring lube it up first,If it works for rocket science,it will work
for a rotory engine...

FD Racer

cool. Where did you get that stuff?

sterling7

i got it from aerocon systems,they are a supply house for liquid rocket
engines,solid rocket engines,and even whole rockets,,,you know,,like
6 foot rockets,,the o-rings for my oil filter piller needed to be replaced
so i bought those,and i thought,,,heat,,,o-ring,so i used that grease
on them before installing them,,shouldn't o-rings be preped with
something first,,it's used for the rocket engine o-rings,,i went to mazda
for the o-rings and they wanted $4.11 each,,,so i went down the street
and bought them for $0.48 cents each at napa parts

FD Racer

so how do i go about buying some?

sterling7

To hell with the o-ring sealant and lube.. I want a 6 foot rocket!

Some guys have said they go and get cheaper O-Rings down at the hardware store.

Is it OK to use these? or are the dealer O-Rings better?

Also, what size are they. Or should I just bring an old one down with me?

Thanks.

MIKE-P has some that will last MUCH longer than the stock rings. Cheaper, too.

Will vasaline work just as well or screw something up?

MarkPerez

What are they made of ??? and how much cheaper then
say 48 cents each. Mike-p is another forum member who
installed a turbo in his 1st gen. or what he likes to call his POS ( piece of ****) it turned out real good, i think he
just needs to dial it in though. man this is an old thread.

MarkPerez

I'm not sure,, but what ever grease you use make sure
it doesn't eat rubber, neophreane. lythiume < ???? spelling??

damon

Resurecting old threads again I see....


but a wankel rotary with a back up rocket pack dont sound too bad

peace

The best o-ring you could get for your car would be a viton one. They can take much more heat than a regular buna-n or a nitrile o-ring. Plus the viton will be comaptable with just about all fluids.

john ager

i work for one of the largest o-ring MFG's in the country. If you guys want lube i can supply all you need. DO NOT USE VASALINE. it will eat through most common rings. the Lub is 180wt developed specificly for buna, viton, EPDM, and Neoprene o-rings and gaskets and has a working heat ranger of -55 to +650 degrees. i can get it from work for about $2.00, ,we sell it for $10.99 If your intrested e-mail me at JOHN91374@aol.com
