Any one wanna take a guess what seal this is hanging our of my rear irons bridge port? It's orange in color and is rubber of some sort. I'll be pulling the engine apart but I'm curious to know what seal this is?

 

I'll just answer it myself. Looks like I've had a bad coolant seal lol.

 

I guess you are supposed to stake the o-ring groove on a bridgeport that cuts into the coolant o-ring groove so the cut ends of the o-ring don't get sucked into the intake port over time.

 

Sounds like a coolant seal

 

Sounds like a J-port, not a bridge. The most unreliable port ever created. For this exact reason.

 

It's a halfie. Turns out the worst my rear iron inner groove is destroyed cause of the bridge job. It's unfortunate. Gonna start looking for another rear iron. Was thinking of going with a street port but turns out the guy that did the porting also notch my rotor housing to match the bridge. Thankfully nothing else got destroyed. Looking at some new rotor bearings as well.
