Pretty boring video but extremely exciting to me, I just posted this video in my thread: Sight Glass Seals >> I believe 1/8 OD Glass Tube

I have been fussing over the smaller Empire sight glass tube seals for some time, going through all kinds of different items and finally nailed a silicone tube that will seal up with little to no fuss.  It's a product from ZerksPlus website where I cut their 3/16" ID x 1/4" OD tubing down to 0.20 inches for each side of the glass tube.  Before it took so much time with trial and error using teflon tape...

Here is my Empire 92 "Play Boy", which I think really pushes the seals, IMO.  The engine actually has a replacement heater from China that is a 380W Injected Mould Heating Element Band Heater.
