Paul,

Is there a pocket inside of the seal plates for the O ring?  I did not
remove any of the seal plates but just backed one out a little.  The only
way an O ring area could be in the seal plate is midway  due to the
irregular surface on the inside.  We will have to red RTV the plates in
after we drill and tap?  Thanks

Correct. You will have to smooth that surface as well.

You can use the sealing block to form some JB Weld to fill minor depressions.
Place some wax paper between the sealing block and JB Weld. Treat the aluminum first with the conversion stuff so the JB weld sticks.
