There has been a discussion on the nopistons forum about TES o-rings. The installation

 >

method that some of the guys used may questionable, but I thought it may be good to discuss here.

Post 35 on the second page has some pictures of the o-rings after a tear down.

What are your thoughts Paul?

I am not allowed to access that forum :) Obviously they don't want the truth :)
If you want to cut and paste the message to an email and send it to me I will comment.

If they are too big they WILL cause BIG problems. People have to
buy the exact right size directly from Creavey. What they sell elsewhere
may not be the right size. For an example a 3/32" dia. O ring will not cut it and
will cause problems as it is not .096" in diameter as one would think.
It is .108" inches in diameter. TOO BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a pdf file on the subject.

You have to register and sign in to view the post.  I PDF'd the post in case you
don't want to register.  The post is concerning TES o-rings Tracy sells, and I
assume he followed your guidelines when putting the package together.  This may
very well be a case of operator error as far as proper installation as some people
that responded to the post had good luck and others did not.  One person did reference
your website and write up on TES o-ring selection.

I don't register and I don't require people to register here. I ask people here
to sign their name. Sometimes they don't but I know who they are.
I don't know what register is about but I think they are just gathering information
for marketing purposes.

No comment on the pdf as I don't know who "B" is :) He could be working for
Mazda Parts Department :) The thing about the Internet is there are shills lurking
about. A shill is a person that is paid to discredit certain products and services
and sell other products or services instead. I have certain ways of detecting shills
with about 12 years experience on BBS's and the Internet. If I told you about the
ways I would have to kill you :)

I will say "B" is not providing the required details on diagnostics of his alleged overheating.
For example; Does the water jacket hold pressure? Is there a coolant loss?

As far as I can tell "B" stands for Bull shiter :) Also the O-rings he is talking
about did not come from Creavey and  I have no idea what size they are.
