Related question - is the oring dead if the washer spins?

It’s mostly worked, but I just had a washer spin. Do I need to disassemble and redo with a new oring?

It is impossible to know if the o-ring was significantly damaged but the Dow 55 should provide enough lubrication to prevent damage.
Keep in mind that not all case through bolts are pressurized.
