Message: [QUOTE="Ron's Power Stroke, post: 289026, member: 835"] Quote (Viton®) o-rings have an [URL="http://www.oringsusa.com/html/shelf_life.html"]unlimited shelf life[/URL]. you are correct..I put the fuel bowl and the feed lines on the shelf 5 years ago and them orings still don't leek...its to bad there shelf life ends when you put them on a motor and bake them a few times.. also doesn't work out well making them work in -20* weather.... quote If you are worried about them degrading you should also worry about the ones in the pedestal and turbo flanges. don't need to worry about them..I tossed them out already... quote The materials used in fabricating o-rings varies and that can lead to them lasting or not. that is my point...RTV works 99.9% of the time for life...so for 100 bucks more, not only do I get a good clamping point..but all 8 of my cylinders are getting all the air any part out there at this time can give me plus I don't have to worry about ever getting in there again to replace a 50 cent oring..RTV isn't messy...its the installer...do a little cleaning when you put things back together..it only take a couple minutes...
