    The flywheel grease shown above is believed to be original. That stuff lasts a long time !

    Talked with my tech today. He felt the Viton seals I purchased were flimsy and decided against using them over OEM seals.

    I don’t know personally, I’m going with my trusted professionals advice though. Daniel at Ricambi who talks with people all over the country and sells the parts advised against messing with the seals if they look ok and aren’t leaking. My tech says they look perfect at 4 years old and aren’t leaking. So I’m skipping the triple seals this time around.

    Me too. There’s a glimmer of hope for my 10 yr old son as his older friends are coming over and they notice / so does he all of a sudden

    The same thing is happening at my house. Peer pressure is a powerful thing.
