Looking for help here from the expert rebuilders.  I just put the engine back in after the re-build and used silicone on the front cover oil passage instead of the o-ring and nylon.... 
 
I seem to remember having done that last time, and it worked fine.  I think I did it last time for some sort of good reason, but now I cant think of any good reason not to use the o-ring.  Then in the middle of the night I realized that the oil pressure there is probably quite high, and that is mostly a big gap to fill....
 
Do any of you experts use silicone there instead of an o-ring?
