when round orings go square with frayed edges it is almost a sure sign of to thick of a ring or too shallaw of a groove, o-rings need only have 10-20% compression on a face seal so if it were a 2.0mm oring it needs a groove that is 1.7mm deep. Since it is a low pressure application it really need be only 10% if it were for the oil system then i would say 20-25%
