    Without a model number, I can’t say for absolute certain, but more than likely is is supposed to have an o-ring in that groove. You don’t want to hear about the consequences of leaving it out, but I’ll tell you anyway. The splines will rust out of the crankshaft and you can kiss the motor goodby.
