Recently oringed one of my heads. I'm using 1.8mm (70thou) Viton orings. I cut the groove to a depth of 1.3mm (50thou) as this is what a friends banshee coolhead was cut to running the same thickness orings. The inner oring leaks between the cylinder and the water jacket. it seems as though there is not enough squish on the oring. Are my grooves too deep? Could someone please help me with the correct depth?
Thanks, Brett.
