Sad really that the O ring is worth about .50c at best.

I bought one for the Buick as they can not be bought at all in a packet like the Eco can, you can get the Eco ones from Repco or Burson. I just grabbed two or three different sizes but close, from a bearing supplies and used the one that fit best.

Thanks for the feedback all.

Now I have a second problem, this time with the water pump. According to the info sheet I need to fit the supplied shim or else it would be out of balance so I fiited it, making sure ALL the holes line up but it was out of balance slightly. Scratched my head a bit then ended up removing the shim and it is till out of balance very slightly. THis is annoying me no end. It is a GMB pump so thought would be ok.

i might start a new thread with this

GMB were the best. Sadly they are no longer.

New pump. Check my thread a few others had same issues with GMB pumps. They are no good.
