I've been trying to replace the AOS on my 2000 Boxster S. The current model has a different style of 0-ring on the bottom fitting that goes into the right side of the crankcase. It is wider than the original and when I try to seat it the ring folds up rather than sliding into the hole. Have tried silicone and dish soap and thoroughly cleaned the hole. I note above that "Dave" on june 29, 2014 had same problem. Any other suggestions? Seems like 80% of the ring is seated; is that enough?

I've found that heating the crankcase with a blow dryer can help get the o-ring in. It is necessary to install the AOS all the way in because if you don't it may crack when you bolt it down... Don't ask me how I know that!! You're definitely on the right track with the silicone, also pay close attention to the angles, you need to get the nipple with the o-ring at the perfect angle to get it all the way in. If you still have issues you can put the AOS in the freezer for 20-40 minutes to make the o-ring more rigid, but be careful not to tear it when installing.
