I noticed Im leaking a small amount of oil through the CPS(think thats what its called, you adjust the timing with it on the VE motor.) I unbolted it and took it off, theres a black o-ring type deal on it thats not sealing all the way. a little bit of oil came out when I pulled it off, but its obvious a small amount is coming out while its on..

Is this o-ring replaceable? will the stealership carry it or special order it?
If no one knows what im talking about I will try to borrow a camera and take a picture. Thanks again for the help guys

Or just find a suitably sized o-ring from a parts store.

 

How do you know the rubber in a generic o-ring will be safe for oil if you do that?

 

almost all o-rings are made of buna-N rubber. the black ones you'll buy at the parts store are going to be the same material and I wouldn't worry about them.

 

just wanted to add that some "o-rings" are specific like when i went looking
for a new torque comverter lockup o-ring when i replaced stripped torque converters(my old white gxe
and ex's old 90 stanza) i was told they are "lathe cut" i think was the term
which i was told means they are round in circumferance\shape but square in diameter
(kinda like an oil filter gasket)

 

..... Also otherwise known as a "square o-ring". kinda an oxymoron, but oh well.

 

the shape of the ring is still an "O" though

 

How about I send you some square tires then?

 

I've got those in a box for my next 3rd gen

by the way the tires are as round as a square cut o'ring when off the car.

 

....not the ones I'm talking about!

 

I'm tiring of this convo

 

well someone had to say it

 

quit discussing your cak rings.....o\t

 

 

Is that a gay bashing insult? I've been itching to use my stick... Watch the insults.
