Heh.. well Tom, somebody didn't lose the trail!  ;-)

I'm not sure, but I would suspect somebody sells separate liner seal 
O-rings..  I had to get one once, to be on the safe side when I tried 
turning the crank without liner holders and lifted #3.

The fairly obvious important part is to not nick or cut them as the 
liner goes back in the block.. as well as making sure the seat in the 
block is clean and smooth.  Otherwise, you'll have that deja vu feeling 
all over again after you find the water in the oil...
