Rear main cap o-ring

We're running a KB526 stage 10. What do most do w/ sealing up the o-ring on the sides of the rear main cap. They have those 3" long o-rings on each side that fit in the groove. Do you silicone them?

Silicone on the side seals and over the top around the out side of bolt hole to the crank seal and a thin film on each end of the crank seal. After you pound it back in with your slide hammer main cap tool, wipe off the excess silicone.

 

If you have the proper dog bone looking side seals you do not need silicone.
Just lube them when you put them in.
Silicone makes it hard to get the main cap off and takes to long to dry for between rounds service.
