I have never replaced sleeves, but have used MANY o-rings. I usually use Lucas X-Tra Heavy Duty grease from the 14.5 oz tube (green grease). I know it is a premium grease (I have seen it on a test machine aginst Lubriplate and Mobil synthetic) and have had no adverse reactions with hydraulic oil.
Just curious. If the o-ring seals the (I am guessing wet sleeve) to the block, when you torque the head does it lock it in place? If it "swells" will it bulge into the water jacket or what? I am interested in this application of an o-ring. Is this a special o-ring? What tempatures are it subjected to? Is it in hot water or the combustion area?
