oem vs. aftermarket/hardware store small parts
« on: September 30, 2010, 09:13:31 pm »
I need to replace some o-rings on my intake manifold. The genuine Honda o-rings are 6$+ a piece, can I just use an o-ring from a hardware store? They are about .10$ a piece.

Being a very frugal person I'd try it and if it doesn't work then spring for the big buck ones. Good luck
