Hey folks, wanted to bounce something off of you guys.  I remember just
recently
there being a thread on the TES (teflon-encapsulated silicone) o-rings used
for the
inner water jackets and was wondering how many of you folks are running
these
as stock replacements.  I've been using a set in my engine for over 3 1/2
years without any problems and I just recently acquired a set of four from
McMaster-Carr
to use on a customer's engine rebuild.  Anybody have any practical input on
the
use of these o-rings over the long-term or am I the only one who's used them
for a long period of time?  Also, I'm considering trying to reach someone at
McMaster-Carr
about possible replacements for problematic o-rings used on the stock Mazda
13B
(such as the oil filter stand o-rings) and was wondering if anyone's already
pursuit such endeavours.

Any input and discussion would be of help.

Thanks,

B

Check with Tracy at Real World Systems. I think he is carrying a complete set
of TES O-rings.

Hayes Rotary Engineering has been selling them for years. Ed Anderson has a set in
his engine as does Perry Mick.
