3. Does Kaiser (hope you see this Kaiser) still supply whatever it is thats made from metal? And if so what type of O rings are on it - or does the metal bit come naked?
He does. Nitrile or Viton.
The main differences I have noticed: Viton 4 x the price of Nitrile (being the "normal" O-ring material).
Viton can be fitted in tension. Nitirile will develop cracks if kept stretched.
That is why I don't fit the O-rings before shipping. Once fitted on engine, no problems, because they get compressed in situ.
