Lynn,
I did a check a cross section on them to see that there is sufficient space for expansion.
Also Creavey checked the sizes in a Housing sent by Kelly.
 
Indications are that they don't need additional torque and the cross sections are the same, therefore so is the crush.

Lynn,
I would say my "O"rings fit pretty well and that's the Cosmo Rotor Housing - see photo.

Very nice work.
 
Did anyone check to see how close to hydrauliced the "O" rings are in the groove?
 
Are they stiff enough to require any additional torque on the case bolts?
