Hi Mark,

It is best if you send the o-rings back to be reworked. Silicone glue is not
very strong without the support of a Teflon jacket to hold it together.


The rings will be cut down and made to an 11.155" ID so that the ring OD
will be close to or snug with the outside groove diameter of 11.340.

If you wish the rings to be snug to the groove ID they can be cut down to
11.110" ID but this probably is not as ideal due to pressure traveling
outward.

Awaiting your answer.

Best regards,

Jeff Chrysler

       Mark,

        What final dimension have you and Jeff Chrysler come up with for the
    outer coolent TES O-ring?
