Hey folks,  I've been reading some of the threads concerning the
Teflon-Encapsulated
Silicone o-rings (TES) and was wondering what the general consensus was with
the use
of these o-rings in an oil-filled environment such as for crankcase blow-by
sealing &
prevention, etc.  Does anyone know if these bad boys are completely
oil-proof over a
very long period of time or are they like typical silicone products that are
merely "resistant"
and turn into jelly in an oil environment?

Thanks,

B

The teflon coating makes them almost impervious to all known chemicals.
These are absolutely the best you can get for almost all applications.
IMHO they are a major durability breakthrough in regard to inadvertent 
overheating of the rotary both water and oil.
