I just wanted to see if anyone knew if the gasket between alt and engine is an o-ring Ron Ayers wants $23 for part # 31780-27X50 Which is an alt service kit. I really dont want to pay that much money for an oring. There was nothing there when pulled, so I dont have a reference. Man, I am replacing every gasket on this thing, it better not dare leak after this! Thanks in advance.

I think that's internal to the alternator body... I don't recall there being anything between the engine/gears and the alternator (or starter for that matter).-Steve

could very well be right, but it looks like an o-ring in the pic from ayers and looks like the groove on the alt could use an oring as well. Tried searching this with no results. Here is a pic of what I am describing, the groove is where my finger is. Thanks again for the help.Attached Files

you'll have to wait for someone that's had one out recently enough to remember.

Thanks, but metal against metal isnt making much sense to me though. I am def having a slight leak from this area, and it does state on the part that it is an oil seal. I just wanted to see if this was an oring or something else. If it was not then I would spend the $23. Thanks for all the help/suggestions. Anyone else???

Well, for what it's worth, this one on eBay looks like it does have an o-ring on it...

Where/What is Flatout Cycle? Anyone know where to get a large O-Ring radius measures around 3.5"? Looked at all the hardware stores in the area and a trip to the autozone. Nothing. Any Ideas other than maybe an oil filter gasket, if that would even work? Might have to bite the bullet and spend $20 on an oring, damn!
