    That ^ x2.

    Fit should be 'snug', and a dab of Castrol Rubber Grease will help ease it in without damage/ binding.

    You should find a good selection of O-rings at a local hardware store, or you can try a Caterpillar dealer. If you have the old O-ring carefully remove it and use for reference.

    Your Throttle body is under VACUUM....teflon pipe thread tape is not so good when it unravels and gets sucked down into the cylinders...

    Get a new o-ring.....4 cents.
