I greased up the lip of the seal to avoid any initial burn into the spacer (I am probably overly cautious).

When you bolt the stator back into place, I sealed up the screw holes on the stator and stator clip. I was told on this forum that the holes go through the engine cases and can allow engine oil to seep into primary if not sealed. A tube of ATV should fix you up.
Thanks for the tips.
