C2 washer squirter washers

[Enzo C.]

Gents I would like some clarification on the size of the black washers for the squirters on the cowl. Should they be the same size as the squirter base? Is there a procedure to make this correct? I got a deduct at the last regional and would like to rectify this problem..... Thanks

Enzo, Don't quote me on this but I thought that someone here on the TDB said the rubbers washers were square cut and the small block chevy. valve seals were correctly sized. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi Ed, not sure if you are answering my question? I meant the windshield washer squirter washers on the cowl

The gaskets don't stick out beyond the nozzle. I just got some from LIC, they are just right.

Re: C2 washer squirted washers

Paragon sells washers that are the correct size as well but.... regardless where you get them from be careful when tightening the squirter down, the rubber washer compresses easily and will protrude beyond the circumference of the squirter base if you over-tighten it ---- and it doesn't take much to do that.

Does anyone have a picture of an original on car? Something does not sound right here!
It's pn 3776302, but I can not find in the limited books I have.

Enzo,
Just use an exacto knife and very carefully trim the excess rubber. Takes two minutes (recommendation is to do this while NOT under the influence of caffeinated beverages due to hand shake....lol). Otherwise, you can scribe the gaskets while on the car, remove and trim excess/protruding rubber and re-install. The gaskets, as posted already, should not protrude past the base of the squirter....Best to my Canadian friends....ARA

Hi Ara, have you tried this process ? One has to be very steady and you don't have a second chance... Apparently there is a note in the new 65 judging manual to check if washers have been trimmed to take a deduct ? I would rather buy correct washers and not take any chances to scratch my wonderful paint job...

As was earlier posted small block valve stem seal are almost perfect in size and are CHEAP.

Re: C2 washer squirted washers

My apologies Don, I did not mean to make a false statement... I took a friends comment and I guess I misunderstood ... I will simply buy the washers fro LIC and go from there... Thanks for your comments

The sharp edges described in the new manual are edges on reproduction nozzles.

Thanks Stewart I guess that's what my friend meant...

Re: C2 washer squirted washers

So how does that fit into the "CDCIF" process? A special consideration for "65" only? It's only a 3/3 item, so to take 1 on original side seems like double dipping plus! So if one has a repo washer nozzle the C &/or D could be at risk also. Again, does anyone have pictures of originals?

Here are some pics of a 30k-mile 67. Never removed. The best I could do for photos.
