Hi,
If you are referring to where the o-ring is located, no. Make sure the surfaces are clean. Also, lubricate the o-ring with oil before you install it.
I hope everything turns out okay. If you have a chance, let me know the outcome or if you have other questions.
Remember, no RTV on the o-ring, make sure the surfaces are clean, and pre-lubricate the o-ring.
Take care of yourself,
Joe
