Oring in the centre and paper on the outer ?

Took mine off the other day, it was a small red o-ring. nothing else.

its a mystery. both my block and pick up pipe have flat surface to suit a gasket. block has stain/mark from having o ring at some stage. i maybe have rb25 and rb30 pick up pipes mixed up coz at one stage i had 2 rb30 ones and a rb25 one. does rb25 use gasket or o ring? i believe i have the pipe i pulled off this setup and not one off something else (either rb30 or 25). think i remember putting it together with gasket last time ---------- Post added 02-03-12 at 00:45 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by HTURBO [View Post] Does it look like this Uploaded with ImageShack.us (http://imageshack.us) yer thats the type. is that a gasket for a different part or something?

Very similar, went to a exhaust shop & brought one a few years ago. Had a stainless steel o-ring on it. Just take it into a exhaust shop & they should be able to match it up.

and you used that on ya oil pickup pipe? i bet ya maybe the rb30 has flat face on block and o ring groove on the pickup pipe and rb25 has o ring in block and flat face on the pickup pipe. and ive got 2 flat surface bits ie. one from each. dunno

The rb30 runs an o-ring only and nothing else it's as simple as that mate

so the rb30 oil pickup pipe has a groove in it to put the o ring in? guess i better find other pipe

Yep that's it, little groove, little red oring. Done!
