[SEL] O.T. Gluing a Timing Belt

[MBellar at aol.com]

Paul;
I purchased an O-ring splicing kit awhile back in order to make an  O-ring 
replacement for a piston ring on a Waterloo engine. Super glue is  supplied with 
the kit and I can testify that once it sets the joint is secure. I  had to 
super stretch the O-ring to reduce the OD of my home made O-ring to get  it to 
fit in the piston groove and allow the piston to tightly slip into  the 
cylinder. After about six tries everything went together well  resulting in great 
engine compression. I have about three hours  of running time on the engine and 
it is still holding up. They supply  a jig to align the two ends of the O-ring 
because you only get one chance at  joining them before the glue sets. I would 
guess that you could do the same  with your belt.
