    still would not hurt to check . don .looks like the same rigid chimney metal-clad seals i use and many do. seals work very good But it would not hurt to check seal to retainer room running this seal takes up alot of room . i do not want you jumping off a bridge check every thing . it will hurt alot less now then latter

    I know how to check for coil room on lift, but how do you check for that seal to retainer room? Good suggestions Jerry and Pat, and I don't swim all that well.

    you can go to the hardware store find lite test spring. at full lift you should .060 for room seal to retainer at this point is a good time that you can check piston to valve as well
