      X-Profile Oil-Resistant Buna-N O-Rings

      Also known as Quattro Seals and X-rings, these X-profile O-rings have four points of contact for a better seal in dynamic applications than round-profile O-rings. They also require less compression to make a seal, so they offer a longer service life. These O-rings are made of Buna-N, which is resilient and tear resistant. They resist motor oil.

      Inch O-rings have a dash number and are sized to the SAE standard AS568.

        The OMC number doesn’t help me any until I know where it was supposed to be used….OMC’s use of a quad ring anywhere is not coming to my mind. Help me out here….

        Long live American manufacturing!

          Yes, that’s it.

          Bill, they are used in the Big Twin carbon seal. marineengine thinks they are worth $16.00 each.

            Frank, the first link showing a square o-ring say’s
            it’s for "static" installations.
            The second, named "Quattro" says for "dynamic"
            installations.
            Is the Quattro style the one I want????
            Thanks.

              Didn’t notice that. But the quattro (dynamic) one is the one you want. Notice the four sealing edges on it, which the "square" o-ring does not have.

              "Static" means nothing moves. Think jar lids.

                    Scott, will let you know if I do.

                    Update- I ordered a bag of 25 of the Quattro seals.
                    https://www.mcmaster.com/#90025k347/=1dopvnj
                    Will let you know if they actually fit.
                    Also ordered some o-rings that I’m hoping will work
                    on the shift rod.

                    Any guesses why OMC started using the square o-rings
                    in the carbon seals, but only on the bottom of the crankshaft?
