Duhh...Why didn't I think of that! I guess I'll give the original setup one
more try and use the grease trick. I have to admit that I've been buying
those rings from one of the major suppliers of lousy Asian parts, so maybe
they 'aint gonna fit right anyway. I'll shop more carefully next time.
This is just another of the little quirks that make an LBC so interesting I
guess.
