I had to remove my oil filter adapter to slide out the thru bolt to replace the motor mount. Although I didn't know if that was necessary, but it was easy enough. I have a hex head on my Renix OFA and it wasn't siezed or really hard to remove at all. So, I figured, might as well change the o-rings since I had it off. I can see plainly where the o-rings should go BUT, there aren't any o-rings in the "grooves". There is what appears to be o-rings, but they're not rubber, they look like steel/metal "inserts" where the rubber should be. What's up? What am I missing? 88 4.0L
It wasn't leaking at all. The block all around it is dry as a bone. I poked at the things with a dental pick, a screwdriver and they are hard as stone. When I hit them with the pick, they go "tink, tink, tink" (sorry if I'm being overly technical) They're not bouncy or squishy, they feel like steel. Could they just be so old that they've "morphed" into being that hard??
