Hi Gang,
I'm in the process of re-installing my DPC-1 transom shield and have a few questions. First and foremost: Can the two O rings aka as cushions be reused if they have no apparent flaws ? When installing these cushions is any lube or sealer to be used ? I will be replacing the the transom shield gskt. and would like to know if any sealers should be used ? Also I heard that there are O rings to be installed around the transom mounting studs but they were not on the studs when i took it off, and do not appear in the volvo pts. catalog. Do I need these? Also what is the recommended torque spec. for the transom shield mounting studs and should sealer be applied to them? Finally do I tighten the clamping ring bolts before or after performing the alignment?
Thanks in advance
