Kook's Install...Quick Question

[BadPiggy]

Had to remove oil dipstick to install header.

Are you guys just re-using the O-ring at the base of the tube or replacing the tube?
Ford dealer says the O-ring doesn't have a part number.
Hell, maybe there isn't one there.

Also, the tube bracket that bolts to the block, up top.
That looks like it's gonna create a metal-metal rubbing issue on the header flange eventually creating a hole in the tube.
Are you guys putting a spacer between the bracket & block, or bending the tube/bracket?

I know, I know...
BS questions...but leave it to me to ask the hard ones!

I'm a perfectionist, borderline OCD...forgive me.

I remember someone asking about this a few days ago. I would say you can reuse and if it starts leaking you can get an o-ring from a parts store that will be the same size.

Reuse the o ring, bend the tube so it fits between primaries.
