crap! lost the O-ring from my AAC valve!

[kwazza11]

took my AAC valve off to clean it and check it over and i just lost the oring in my engine bay!

can i use some Loctite blue sealant or silicone? or does it need an oring? theres a small hole on the outside of the oring groove but it looks like it just clamps onto the face of the manifold.

i'll have a look tomorrow morning for it but i dont like my chances.

would motor traders or CBC have an oring to suit?

The o-ring looks like its vital to seal the solenoid to the chamber. Can't use gasket paper because the solenoid has to push against the spring loaded valve (tight clearance). Not a huge drama though, your local hardware shop or Repco will have replacement rings.
