Default pickup tube o-ring

this might be a shot in the dark, but does anyone know the dimension of the pick up tube o-ring? did my h/c install with a new timing chain. i'm pretty sure i busted the o-ring pulling off the oil pump. i have an o-ring set in the garage and i'm looking to replace it.

I think that would work. I'm not sure of the size of it though.

Please do not use anything but the correct (blue) GM o-ring.

Def get the one from Gm. It must be resistant to high pressure, oil, strong solvents, fuel, and extreme heat. Def worth it to get the gm one.
