Platinum Boarder Posts: 1390 Re:Manifold O-rings 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Thanks for the part # Musky...and Doc for the devil's advocacy ... I didn't figure I needed new ones, but it's always better to have the knowledge... Waiting to hear from Nemesis on the availability of the redesigned manifold for the 1700. It's supposed to be out this month. In the meantime I'll have some fun & grind some plastic to see how it goes...

That means you got rid of all that whatever it is they left on there. I have metal showing all over. Or that my op anywho. OK.

I thought you were talking about lapping the mating surface where the O rings go. Porting the manifold - I took it down to the metal right at the corners and then rounded both sides out till they both felt the same. So I have some metal showing in there but there is still rubber too. I guess the word "Elbow" should have been a clue huh   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #16356 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation! Moderator Posts: 4701 Re:Manifold O-rings 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Coug, I'm running the Barons stock ported job, So, I did not do it my self, but did notice a big difference between the hard corners in the stocker, and the smooth flowing turns of the Barons one. I don't recall metal exposed in the Barons manifold, but there may have been. One things for sure, there is a lot of rubber that can be removed, comparing the two.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #16361 Roadkill1962 (User) I have ADOS - Attention Defecit...Oh, Shiny! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1390 Re:Manifold O-rings 1 Year, 9 Months ago   when putting the manifold back on, do you use any grease on the o-rings, like the lithium soap, or do they just go on au naturel?
