Subject: Need clarification on O-ring dimension

Hi Mark,

It is best if you send the o-rings back to be reworked. Silicone glue is not
very strong without the support of a Teflon jacket to hold it together.

The rings will be cut down and made to an 11.155" ID so that the ring OD
will be close to or snug with the outside groove diameter of 11.340.

If you wish the rings to be snug to the groove ID they can be cut down to
11.110" ID but this probably is not as ideal due to pressure traveling
outward.

Awaiting your answer.

Best regards,

Jeff Chrysler

There is your answer Mark. Jeff Chrysler of Creavey is our buddy :)

So Paul there's YOUR answer, Jeff has also taken away your excuse for not
stocking them. When Mark is all done trying out the sizes you should order at
least 12 sets for stock. They should go pretty fast....See what did I tell you,
you're already down to 11 sets......I just bought one :)

There are a few misc small O-rings in the oil system that I need to measure so we have 
a complete set of TES O-rings in the package. No point in fooling around to same a dime.
