Alright, I don't really want to solder my block together, and I don't have the necesary tools to make a precise O-ring groove. So, would I just use an O-ring without a groove?

Assuming both surfaces were flat, and I could compress it fairly evenly (8 screws), it should be water tight right?

Or should I use like some rubber sheeting or something? I'm not sure what would make a watertight seal. I mean, there isn't going to be that much ressure on it. Just a via aqua 1300 pump, a Jr-120 radiator, and another block.
