ok..i think this will hopefully be my last question. i'm trying to find out what size O-rings I need for the two tubes that go into the intercooler. I figure if they are easy enough to get I may as well replace them while I have it open. and what type of material should they be made of I have noticed some are made for different applications.

thanks

Call Steve @ Tasca. Your already wanting to go OEM on the other stuff, so go OEM on this too.

Good deal. I will do that. Thanks

Or any #115 o-ring is same size (17.12x2.62), available at any auto parts/hardware store. Can even upgrade to a Viton if your heart desires.

oh ok..thanks highcomp....I knew there was a diff in what the rings were made of. so the viton is better..thanks again!!

Its kind of pain to replace them and water in the oil isn't worth the gamble so I went oem. I think they're like $7 a piece even from a discount place dealer.

Water in the oil? :shrug: Not these o-rings...more like water in your cylinders

Yeah I wasn't thinking I'm use to pushrod engines where a leak like this would go right into the lifter valley. Either way its not worth risking for me.

For use in cooling systems where water is present make sure the O-ring is made from EPDM rubber. McMaster Carr carries a wide array of O-rings.
