Viton 606.962 O-Ring Kit, Free Shipping in the US!
$27.50

This is a kit of viton o-rings for the 606.962 engine.

2 Spin on fuel filter O-Rings (Numbers 11 and 14 in the linked diagram)
1 Prefilter O-Ring (Number 29 in the linked diagram)
1 Shutoff valve O-Ring
9 Fuel line O-Rings (one at the filter housing)
3 Fuel line at the filter housing O-Rings
6 Delivery valve O-Rings
1 Tank Screen O-Ring


Doesn't say anything about the EGR O-ring. Where should I get that and the IM gasket? I also ordered 4 ft of the viton return line.

Anything else?

Ok, so then it's really just the O-rings that need attention? I've often read about replacing the fuel lines, but is it generally the O-rings that are air leak culprits? I certainly don't mind the idea of buying new fuel lines, but not if it's unnecessary.

Too many here have snapped a perfectly good GP off causing themselves untold grief thinking they are perfroming required preventitive maint.
I guess I really don't know what to do then. Is there a torque setting I can safetly use to try removing them without breaking them? Can I use my cordless impact driver at a low setting?

Ideally, I'd like to find that they all come out easily, then ream the holes and anti-seize the threads (not that the threads are the issue). Some seem to recommend removing the GPs every year to PREVENT having them seize. I would be comfortable doing that, no problem. I just think it would be a shame if they aren't seized now, and I missed an opportunity to AVOID having them seize. Make sense?
