O-Rings - Knock Pins @ Head Gasket

Post by Mrburnn » Wed Nov 15, 2017 11:20 am

Good morning,
Can anyone tell me why the 11x2.0 O-ring used to seal the two knock pins at the head gasket of a 305 motor is green? Is the O-ring made of a special material? will any 11x2.0 rubber O-ring work as well?

Thanks!

FYI, the part number for the O-rings I am questioning is 91303-259-000. Thanks again!

As far as I know they have always been green. They are obviously different from black ones but I don't know in what way.

Presumably temperature is an issue in that area so probably extended temperature range. Not sure if silicone rubber was available back in the day but that might be the difference....

I agree.
So far I haven't seen any info stating why to that question. ....................lm

Thank you for the input guys. I will play it safe and order new green O-rings. I have started the re-assembly of my '67 CL77 so I will post some pictures in (hopefully) the near future.
