Default AEBS sleeves copper o ring replace or no?
I pulled my head to have some machine work and wanted to see if anyone has ever removed and reinstalled the head without replacing the copper o rings?I did some research and from what i found its a pain in the *** and most people say to change them but i was told from a reliable source that they dont need to be changed.just wanna see how many people have went without replacing the O rings???

why wouldn't you replace them? It takes 15 minutes tops and $3 in copper wire.

Would you lose compression if you didn't change them?

As stated before, you definitely want to replace them. They're fairly easy to replace, just take your time.
