I am rebuilding the engine I first flew my RV-6 on. It saw 80 hours in the
air after being rescued from a wrecking yard. I removed it because of
excessive oil consumption due to overheated rotor oil scraper O-rings. I
found a 0.40" portion of the wall that retains the inner water jacket O ring
on the center housing was broken. The wall is only 0.045" thick here. I
never noticed any ill effects while the engine was in service.
Here is a Jpeg of what I did to fix it.
I have not yet decided whether to use this housing.

That looks like a good way to repair those types of failures.
Great idea Chuck. Thanks for sharing that. 

BTW Your TEF oil O-rings are in the mail.
