Re: Teflon buttons replace circlips?
The radius matches that of the cylinder, giving the maximum wear area. I wasn't sure that was best and wondered if that would wipe the oil from the bore in that area. The teflon buttons seem to be most prevalent in racing applications, air cooled volkswagens and motorcycles, all of which would really put them to the test. I'm sure I will be more than confident putt-putting around in my old panel at 40 mph, which is the highest speed limit on Orcas Island.
