Hey Paul, I was just perusing through some old pictures in a vain attempt to
try and hold on to my now fleeting youth (and hair line) and I found this
picture
of a centre iron plate with a TES o-ring in the inner water jacket o-ring
land.

That's how the o-ring looks after being compressed and seated in-place from
a running engine.  No signs of any damage to the teflon jacket or o-ring
core,
no junk left on the o-ring land, and still in perfectly good shape.
