Hi Paul,
I obtained the measurements for the Inner and Outer coolant orings
by laying a piece of #12 wire in the end housing coolant oring
groove, then I measured the length of this piece of wire.

outer coolant oring - no part number for this that I could find
diameter       = 11.340
slot depth     =  0.062
slot width     =  0.110

I could not find an oring to fit these dimemsions.  The quest continues!

Ed already is running these as I recall. Ed should know the part number.
Am I missing something here?

Is the diameter or the section size the problem?

A: Get the nearest smaller size and stretch it a bit.
B: Get one slightly longer and cut it with an exact knife and
glue it back together with red RTV. Either the 1/16 section size
which is actually larger then .062 or the 3/32 size might work.
Also Creavey makes intermediate  section sizes of 0.070, 0.077, and 
0.080.  Check this chart Ken.
