[quote name='Lynn E. Hanover' date='May 25 2005, 06:50 PM']I had a spool of Teflon insulated silver tinned copper conductor aircraft wire, that I made the compression seals out of. The wire was just short of hydrauliced in the groove when torqued up....
For the water seal (the black one) he has a spool of round "O" ring material, and just cuts off what he needs. I reuse the same seals over and over. Never a problem. I look inside the engine at the end of each year.

A few times. It took pegging of the temp gauge 7-8 times before I had to replace the RA coolant seals. Stock seals can only take 2, maybe 3 times.
My car was plagued with cooling system failures in the past. Every single part of my cooling system has failed at least once, usually liberating the engine of its entire coolant supply. RA seals took the abuse well though.

The object was to replace the stock compression (square seals) one seldom has on hand when its time to throw an engine together. I never ocurred to me to take a picture of the wire. Its just wire. The fact that it had a Teflon insulator just made it a better choice. The outer seal, the black one, I call the water seal also comes in an overhaul set and are totally reusable. There is no requirement for these rings to be square. Sorry.
