Copper sealant will NOT give a hard enough surface for the o-ring to
seat against.  You need to use JB Weld or some similar epoxy derivative.

Okay guys,
I'm going to use copper sealant to attempt to fill the small pitts on
the
pipe side...housing hasn't any pitts. Expansion, non-expansion,
resiliance,
etc....
I appreciate the response...
I will let you know the outcome.
Thanks again,
LR
