Turrentine's DVD shows him installing a rubber O-ring in the grove at the
base of the front stationary gear. The exploded engine view I have does not
show such an O-ring nor can I find one that's going to fit within my 20B
gasket and O-ring set which supposedly has all I need.

Comments?

Thanks

That sounds like the inner oil scraper ring.

Creavey is the hot tip for TES O-rings.

I checked the installation of the oil O-rings with the new
sizes I got from Creavey. They worked perfectly and were
very easy to install. You will need a little O-ring lube
and a 2 by 8 to install them. They were also easy to remove
with no signs of distortion.

One of the secrets is if you reuse the old oil scraper rings
they must be spotlessly clean inside and out. Soak them
in carb cleaner for a few days. If you use new scraper rings
this will not be a problem of course.
The second thing to watch out for is don't nick the
rotor wall between the two scraper rings when you remove them.
Very very important!!

These can be the same price  or just a
little more than the stock oil O-rings from Mazda.

The proper sizes are:

0.093" section 4.68 inch ID
0.118" section 4.33 inch ID

Ops something went wrong with that last message.
Lets try that again.
