The slide drawing that you sent me is a little strange. I thought
the slide was just one piece Teflon. I see some sort of  oblong
grove around the 1in port holes is there some sort of O-ring or
something?

It is one piece.
That is for the optional Teflon encapsulated silicone O-rings.
Some builders are concerned with leakage around the slide
and these O rings address that issue. IMHO they are not necessary.
I just drew them in anyway.

Here is the source for the O-rings. http://www.creavey.com/

We use the same type O-rings to seal the water jacket and
the oil scrapers on the sides of the rotors.
