Finally got the gasket set so I can start re-building my '97 220. One of the KIPS rods has a groove with an o-ring in it. Does that need to be replaced? It doesn't appear to be in the Vortex gasket set I got nor is it listed as a separate part in the diagram. Is there a hardware store alternative that would work if needed?
Also just to clarify regarding the glitch in the manual; the images shown are both right side parts, correct?
Thanks

Re: KIPS Rod O-ring
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC has Part# 43049-1076 in stock for $4.18, and it looks like you can get it from other sources as well. Does the o-ring look to be in good shape, or no? Others can chime in about the manual glitch.
Link to RM ATV/MC part - 43049-1076, Packing , then click on "Cylinder Head/Cylinder" and you'll see the parts diagram.
