    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Guys I need a liitle help here. I can't find any info in the two manuals that I have, I've got a factory manual and a Haynes, I think. Anyhow does anybody know if the o-rings on the base of the cylinder block go down in the groove around the sleave or just kind of rest at the top of the goove? The reason I ask is I would think that they go down in the groove, but the two motors I have torn down out in the garage the o-rings are just kind of resting at the top of the groove. Heeellllppp!!! please.
 
I checked the service manual and it only states "accurately positioned". Since niether of my motors were virgins, I don't know how the factory installed the o-rings. I'm pretty sure I pushed them all the way in and I have had no problems.

Thanks Wheelie. My motors where virgins and never have been apart before. Anybody else got any ideas I need to get this thing back together soon. :D
 
I've always installed them in the groove...but found them pulled down after disassembly.
I think engine vacuum, gravity and temperature all conspire together and pull the o-rings down against the case.

Thanks GS1197TX, I kinda thought that could be whats going on there but I wasn't sure. The manuals that I have just show them at the base of the block. :)
