Well gonna try this post again how to replace orings on your coolant tubes orings without removing carbs
Step 1
Tools 12inch extension 16mm socket 10mm socket red scotch pad 150 grit wet sandpaper case halve sealant (hondabond or three bond both made by same company)

Step 6
Get this oring don't worry it will fit
Place oring on tube lube up real good with air tool oil it lubes and it will dry out. Put elbow on first with a twisting motion push and twist
Step 7
Place gasket on head with case sealant ( Hondabond) now with elbow facing up push end into manifold push and twist watch your oring don't pinch it push firmly and twist until elbow lines up with head and gasket mating
Step 8
