Other ADA head o-ring

[cantcount04]

i just got a new ADA head and the o-ring is to big do you have to splice the outer o-ring even from ADA ?

Try using some light grease to hold Oring while installing it. If not then yes cut it and use some permatex gasket sealer at each end. Have done it both ways with good success

If you're referring to the very large 'ring' that just seals the head shell to the cylinder - if I recall correctly, that's just a long string of rubber. Put some grease or petroleum jelly on it and fit it in the groove. Once you're back to where you started, cut it with a razor blade.

Wondered this samething when i got mine from blowsion, but thought u had to super glue the ends together so u will get a good seal

When you get new head from ADA, the long outer oring is usually a big loop already sized. It can be difficult to install without stretching it as you insert in the groove and at the end you have extra. If you work back the other direction each way and shimmy it back a little you can usually use up the slack. As noted above, putting some grease in the groove helps to keep it in place as you go and helps avoid it falling out or binding/pinching when installing.

For this reason and for cost savings, we just order the bulk oring stock when replacing them. That way you just install and trim to fit. It is just sealing Cooling water, not compression/combustion so the seal isnt that critical. Some super glue the ends together after sizing , some just put a dab of silicone on the joint, and some trim a fuzz long then shimmy back and just put a little grease there.
