I'm driving myself crazy after my opti install thinking I forgot this. Do the new opti's (mine is said to be OEM from thepartsladi) have the o-ring installed on the coupling shaft? Maybe if someone has one new in box they could check for me.

If in question Fig 5 http://www.autozone.com/az/cds/en_us...rInfoPages.htm

shows the o-ring in question with the shaft detached from the opti.


Here is a link to the ebay picture http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-93...ayphotohosting

which is not large enough to tell for sure

Thanks.

 

Non-vented optis don't have/use o-rings like the vented ones do. What you are probably looking at is the seal in the back of the opti.

Thanks shoebox.

What prompted this is I have an oil leak now from the bottom of the timing cover/oil pan gasket that I was searching on. When looking I came across multiple mentions of these opti O-rings and was thinking oh shxx did I forget this?
