Actually I o-ring the plate to the block - solves all the problems.




Looking at the picture , the o-ring depth looks pretty deep.



The depth of the groove is based on the section of the o-ring.
I'd suspect that they are using a pretty thick section on the o-ring to keep the thing strong enough to not get torn while stuff is moving around.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
