I have  had several experiences with coolant "O" ring failure (for reasons I won't repeat here).   And even while I've even managed to cause  TES "O" rings to fail (through no fault of the "O" rings) - I have never had a stock outer coolant "O" ring fail.  So while I used TES inner "O" rings, I have had no problem with the stock outer "O" rings. As several folks have already mentioned, if they (outer rings)  fail due to overheating, the engine is likely trash in any case.  FWIW

That’s *inner* TES  in the kits.  If I started handling sales of single parts I would have absolutely no life left at all : )  I agree with Rusty,  if you overheat the non TES outer O-ring, the engine is toast anyway.

Rusty,
Tracy only supplies TES Outer in his Kit not by themselves - as Laura informs me!

I  know some  the group will like to see the last of the posts about TES  seals !!

I don't mind the posts, but I didn't see an answer as to why you're putting yourselves (and us <g>) through all this.  Bruce already sells the inner TES o-rings that fit, but I don't know what they cost.  Is this Creavey place that much cheaper?  I know Bruce doesn't include TES outer o-rings in his kit, but he might have them if you demand it.  Do you have any reason to imagine that you'll ever need the higher temp rating on the outer seal?  
 
Cheers,
Rusty (very hot...)
