Is there anything special about these darn things that they cost $7 bucks each?

I was going to order a couple yamaha ones then try to match them up with some from the automotive shop

or the hardware store.

Does it have to be a special rubber or something since its on a hot motor?

Thanks for any guidance.

I replaced mine with some that I got from a Plumbing Supply store...$0.60 each and they work fine, no seepage or leaking whatsoever.

Go for neoprene instead of rubber if you have the choice.

When I change the oil I place all the o-rings in a cup of PB Blaster and let them soak. Their label reads "PB restores life to "O" rings and rubber seals." It's worked for me.

I should also add: Do NOT overtighten the bolts that hold the covers in place! The threads in there are made of butter or something equally soft and they strip VERY easily!

go to any industrial seal place and match them up. I've used several different materials and they all start leaking after 5-6000 miles because the heat makes them take a set. I bought 20 sets for about $25 and figure I have a lifetime supply.
