Kelly,
I see what you mean - a quick check = of areas=20 reveal a ratio of area of grove  to "O" ring = cross=20 sectional area as:-
1. .093 =3D 1: .924343 ( for the = .065x .113)=20 proven fit - outer "O" ring!!
 
2. .098 =3D 1: = .859    =20   ( for the .065x .135) OK
3. .1    =3D  = 1: .8945868(=20 for the .065x .135) OK
4. .103 =3D 1: .9490484 ( for the = .065x.135) TOO=20 BIG.
 
Given the crush 'cross section' is = different,=20 but the Teflon flows under that pressure, 2 and 3 should be OK = - I'm=20 using your dimension measurements.

George,
     I was trying to find out what = diameters=20 (cross section) of  the high temp
(500 degree f) PFA-SIL was available.........I wonder if = the (450=20 degree f)
FEP-SIL might be good enough for the coolent O-rings but = use the=20 high
temp for the rotor side seal O-rings........If the coolent = seals=20 ever see even
450 degrees the aluminum rotor hsgs will probably start to = crush=20 !!
