    OK group, what is the best way to get out the old O-ring, .040 copper wire, from the groove in the block??
    Thanks, Gary G

    I figured out a good way to remove the old copper o-rings. I took a dental pick, sharpened to a point, and a small hammer for persuasion, hammer pick into what you hope is the butt seam, and start to "work" it up, if lucky it'll pop up and then grab it with a needle nose, and it's out.
    Now I'm not sure if I should change all 8, or just the 3 that got nicked when putting the pistons back in the motor...I'll sleep on it.
