Of the smaller O rings, is one made of felt? There's a felt O ring
which installs up against the pilot bearing. This part helps keep dirt
out of the pilot bearing and/or helps keep the grease in the pilot
bearing. There will be info in the Vanagon archives on this part.

Double check the brand of rear engine O ring seal you are installing.
Over on thesamba.com and likely here too, there are discussions about,
and suggestions of, which brand is the better quality part.
