Coolant o-rings
Coolant o-rings
Sup, Fellas?
Quick question. Anybody know of, heard of , or have urethane coolant o-rings. Mine are slowly but surely going. Also thinking of sealing the coolant system with ceramic coat. Holla Back!!!:

By using a coating in the cooling system you will risk the heat not transferring to the coolant and to the radiator. That would cause the motor to overheat quickly if I am right. The ceramic would be a thermal barrier but it would not keep areas that generate heat from getting hot. It would just not leave a path to transfer the heat too. This is redundant but I don't feel like editting 
As far as seals;
Are you sure you are not talking about teflon encapsulated silicone? Viton would be another good material, but I don't know of a urethane that meets the temp rating.
