Question on Throttle Body rebuild and O-ring seals
Installing new seals in my throttle body with the rebuild kit provided by the PO (thank you). As I can't seem to find a documented procedure (anyone?), have a question.
There are o-rings seals at each end of the support bearing for the pivot arm for the plate. It looks like that on one side you install 2 o-rings and on the other side you install only 1 o-ring. This is based on a) the o-ring parts that came out and b) available room in the housing. (Sorry, can't remember which side has 2 vs. 1 at the moment). Of course, to confound things, the kit provides 4 o-rings.
Can anyone confirm if you are supposed to have 3 or 4 o-rings total installed?
Oh yes, reminder to me for next time: Take a pic of how the throttle springs attach to the lever arms and housing BEFORE you take humpty dumpty apart. Makes putting it back together so much easier.

Got this kit http://www.arnnworx.com/951_tb_kit.htm a year ago and yes, only 3 o-rings like Bruce said in the documentation.
