Ended up making a new collar from a piece of 1/2 inch electrical conduit. It was slightly over sized, cut it lengthwise to reduce the diameter. Worked perfectly. I ended up reusing the missing 8mm oring. It looks good ...hopefully no leaks!

It’s always something
Went to reinstall the water pump and transmission cover and noticed something didn’t look correct. One of the 17 mm o ring collars was missing. I don’t think I lost it...so now to either find one or make one. There is one on eBay in an engine misc parts grab bag....$40 with shipping....it’s looks like stainless 17mm x 10mm. Also my gasket kit is missing the small 8mm oring. Whaaaa..

Re: It’s always something
Finally got it completed and test run! The noise is gone and no leaks so far.
