[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1471907, member: 118"] I always have used Yamaha OEM O-rings. Why go through the hassle you are now with cheap parts that *might* work. I use steel wool on the coolant pipe where it goes into the valve cover and where the O-rings seat. There is a good chance there is some corrosion there. Then I apply a light coat of grease to that area to hopefully inhibit future corrosion and to make the O-ring easier to get on, and for the pipe to slide into the valve cover. Many valve checks and I have never had one leak. [/QUOTE]
