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.
George ( down under)
I almost had the same misorder.
I believe the ones you want are the SIL/PFA o-rings good to 500F, you
should
specifically ask for them.
Oil O-rings
0.093 x 4.68
0.118 x 4.33
I believe Paul's numbers for the coolant O-rings worked out to be:
Inner Coolant O-rings
0.093 x 8.932
Outer Coolant O-rings
0.093 x 11.182
I ordered the coolant orings with 9.00 and 11.25 ID, they fit without
stretching
and had a bit of slack, I would get slightly smaller next time.
Cheers
Cary
