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.

is there a difference in the o-rings or is gm just trying to get you to buy more stuff from them?

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.
