Default Terry@Patriot Performane uses Fel-Pro Viton seals now?

One of your customers just claimed he talked to you over the valve seals that Patriot is currently using and states that you are now putting Fel-Pro Viton seals in the updated models.

IS THIS TRUE? If so, when did you start?

--------------------UPDATE 2/14/04 YES-----------------------

I just talked to Terry on the phone and he does use VITON seals now.

I started using a viton seal a couple of weeks ago.Up until that point I used a teflon seal.The teflon seal will was not doing a good job.

Is this the Fel Pro seal, or a PP line of seals? Way to keep up with QC Terry

I did qualify this with a reply in the other thread - Terry suggested I use these instead after we talked and I agreed with him due to MY experience with seals in Drag only cars vs. daily street driven cars.

I actually didn't know whetther or not these were part of his regular production as of late - it was my preference.

If they are, then just another good example of continous R&D/upgrades by Patriot. Then are many larger companies that do not do this after a product is released - they just come out with a new product for more $$.
