Subject: Teflon O-rings. dimensions and part #

Ken and Ed did you guys determine the exact part number for
the inner teflon encapsulated coolant O-rings? Perry has decided
to use those and I need to order them from McMaster Carr and get
them to John at Mazdatrix.

Paul,
We are still looking for the outer coolant oring and the inner oil
control oring.  Here are the 'good' numbers:

 1.  Inner coolant oring
     part # = 9319K239
     asa568a-175
     qty = 4,  price = $9.94 each

 2.  Outer oil control oring
     part # = 9319K221
     asa568a-158
     qty = 4,  price = $7.17 each


I took these measurements a few weeks ago and came up with the
following:
1.  Inner coolant oring - part # 9319k239 ASA 568a dash 175 (just
    for the record I think you originally identified these):
    circumference  = 28.625
    diameter       =  9.111
    slot depth     =  0.062
    slot width     =  0.141
    McMaster-Carr # = 9319K239

2.  outer coolant oring - no part number for this that I could
    find
    diameter       = 11.340
    slot depth     =  0.062
    slot width     =  0.110


I measured the oil control o-rings 2 different ways.  First, I
measured the metal scrapers with my digital calipers.  Secondly,
I cut an o ring and measured its length to obtain the
circumference and divided by pi to get the diameter.  I also
got the sectional values by measuring the orings.

3.  Inner oil control oring -
    outside diameter of scraper ring = 4.559
    depth of scraper slot            = 0.097
(Note that I could not measure the inside dia of the inner oil
control so I had to calculate it.)
    Total thickness of oring / slot = 0.097 * 2 = .194
    Inside diameter of scraper ring = 4.559 - .194 = 4.365
    Circumference of Mazda oring = 13.75
    Dia. of Mazda oring = 4.377
    section thickness of Mazda oring = 0.103 high by 0.134 deep

4.  Outer oil control oring -
    outside diameter of scraper ring =  4.995
    depth of scraper slot             =  0.080
    Total thickness of oring / slot = 0.08 * 2 = .160
    Inside diameter of scraper ring = 4.995 - .160 = 4.835
    Circumference of Mazda oring = 15"
    Dia. of mazda oring = 4.775
    section thickness of Mazda oring = 0.105 (shape is round)
    McMaster-Carr # = 9319k221
    ASA568A-158

Thanks Ken.
