Piston Gaskets

I am replacing the piston gaskets with Viton piston gaskets. These gaskets have the same shape and size as the original, but last much longer without drying or cracking. They are specifically made to utilize the holes on the perimeter of the piston to 'pressurize' and form a really tight seal.
Here they are installed, but they need to be seated
Seated and ready for action
Here is a shot of the four holes on the piston. Only new Olys have them and they seem to work really well. Also notice the cleanliness of the piston itself. Look just like new!
