Subject: [FlyRotary] Pes= ky 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 thi= ng 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.
