    specs for oil return tube o-rings

    so, my goddamn complete head gasket kit wasnt so complete. I dont have the o-rings for the oil return tube. Does anyone know the size offhand for the o-rings so that I may try to find some locally. None of the local parts houses has the damn things by part number, but most have an assortment of o-rings on hand.

    Before I go flitting all over the damn place, it would help to know what the sizes are (OD most critical, I can stretch the ID)
    I need the car up again ASAP, so this is a major fuck in the ass at this point in time.....

      I would, but typically, they are not oil resistant at the hardware store.

      I dont like working on this POS enough to do it more than I absolutely have to. I'll try the local VatoZone I think....... if not, I search more in the toolbox to make damn sure I didnt misplace the goddamn things, No fucking way will I pay 10 bucks shipping (autohaus) for a goddamn pair of o-rings that cost a fucking dollar!!!!

      UPDATE: didnt find anything local, but a thorough search through the toolbox netted another baggie of o-rings that belonged to the kit. Sure enough the oil tube rings were in there. Now I just need the damn breather tube and coolant sensor that I broke to arrive (monday) and then this saga is hopefully complete........

        Just for future reference:

        11-15-1-714-390 Oil return tube seal, 27x3mm, 2X
        That's probably a #-914 or perhaps -913 metric o-ring.
