Anyone know where to get oil tube inner seals (for the alum 2-piece)

I ordered the inner seals that are on the Pelican site but these are not correct for the alumimum 2-piece oil tubes.

The green outer seals fit but the green inner seals are huge and there's no way they could be correct for the aluminum tubes.

Anyone know of a source for the correct seals?


Thanks.........Vern

How about McMaster-Carr?
They have O-rings of every size and about 6-7 different materials.
If you buy a bag of 50 or 100 you will never have to buy them again...and will be the savior of your friends...LOL

Thanks. I didn't know if any o-ring would be ok for use on an engine. I know where I can find these now.

get the gold steel tubes. the aluminum ones suck IMO. they can go too far into the cam tower and leak.

Don't use engine oil to lube them, use silicon grease, the two pieces should slid together with finger pressure, with engine oil, it wipes the oil off. I found hose clamps on the two pieces help to get some leverage to push them into place. Green seals= Viton, not rubber.
