Default Mintor 140 glow cylinder body o ring

The O ring that sits between the engine body and the cylinder body on my Mintor 140 is starting to go bad. Does anyone know what size it is or thoughts on how to estimate is size based on the dimension of the groove in the cylinder head. Mintor has not made this engine for quite some time and I think they are also out of business now.

Attached is a picture of the engine assembled and with cylinder body off where you can see the O ring.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Dave

If you measure the thickness of the "O" ring and the diameter with a metric scale, you will find them on the McMaster Carr web site. You would have to buy a package of many "O" rings, but they are cheap. You can order by phone and use a credit card. It can be picked up locally or thru the mail.

FYI,
