Puffing seals?
now I know if you use vasoline instead of hylomar that your coolant seals will swell up. Well will the Viton Oil seals do that as well?

vaseline will swell the seals if you let them sit unassembled for too long. Then during assembly they get 'clipped' and eventually start to lose sealing capacity...as k me how I know
