	Ok, so I'm ready to torque back down my head and start to button my rebuild back up, but I'm not sure if it's absolutely necessary to replace the two sets of o-rings, which seem to be in perfect shape, between the head itself and the cylinders. I know it should be done, but it's almost $50 for them. Also, I was wondering if anyone had 4 of those little plastic bogie wheel bushings, those stupid little things are $4.53/ea. and I don't know if i can justify dropping almost $70 on the o-rings and bushings, not including the $10 shipping for these seemingly insignificant pieces. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	It is not absolutely necessary, if they are in good shape(no cuts, cracks and not dry rotted) they should be fine to reuse. I would strongly suggest buying new ones though if you can afford it. No sense in "cutting corners" since you are rebuilding it anyways. 2003 Pro-X 800 144": Boss Seat, SLP pipe/can, SLP intake/flowrites, Tracks USA tunnel/rail extensions, 144"x15"x2" Challenger track, 6" billet riser, PERC, torque/push arms, motor plate Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
