Paul,
    George (down under) posted a question about the diameter of the inner
oil
seal O-ring.......Creavy had it listed as 0.093" whereas the list I have
is 0.118".
   I may have missed the answer to the question........Which is correct ??

Kelly,
I purchased the Mazda oil 'O' rings and checked the sizes.
The 0.118" is the correct size for the 4.33 " ID - as Paul correctly
detailed above.

My belief is that the info that Creavey has is a result of a typo in which
they transferred Paul's info to their own records - as all the other sizes
are, 0.093"  - this is the only odd one out.

I have contacted Creavey and ordered my "O" rings and asked them to amend
their records.

Also note there are two types of "O" rings one to 400 degrees F and one to
500 F. Select the latter one even if they quote on the 400F one, as they
initially did with me.
