Subject: [FlyRotary] Pesky front cover O-ring

Just pulled my front cover and low and behold that damned front cover O-ring was fricken GONE. The retaining ring was in place but no sign of the o-ring. Is it ok to pretty much glue this damn thing in some how????  Lynn suggested a metal solution but that is not in my skill set. I have halamar and used it last time. Yes, I did instal the ring.
So, since I bought it I will be installing the new oil pump. Heck, the old one is over 20 years old.  If any of y'all has a remedy for this damned thing slipping out you will have my complete attention.
Oh, I am sending a picture or how I am making the front cover area easier to get to :-)
