Measure the outside of the sleeve,or if you have a truck repair shop take a sleeve with you and see if they have some orings that will fit.I think if you got some that were close to the right size they would work.Too big wont,but if you have to stretch them a little I think it might be allright.The RTV would work on the old ones probobly,I think I would use high temp black.If you can find some new ones they shouldnt cost a lot.If you find new ones get some dishwashing soap and coat them good,then just before you put the sleeve in pour some on them and they should slide right in.Dont use oil because it makes them swell up.I think you can use cooking oil,but soap works just as good and I think they last longer if you use soap.Surely somebody makes an oring for an engine that will work.Cummins,Cat,Ford,International,Volvo all have various size diesel engines that use orings on the sleeves,even Detroit.Its just a matter of finding the right size,and I have seen somewhere that you can buy oring material and make your own.You cut the stuff at an angle and glue it together.Somebody that works on hydraulics a lot probobly knows where to get it.If I used that stuff I think I would coat it good with RTV when I put it in.

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
