N/A porting: oil seal clearance

I've included pics of the lexan template of my primary and secondary ports to see if there will be oil leaking into the combustion face during the intake phase.

The primary port has me concerned the most as it is marginal on the oil seal clearance. As you can see in the pic, the port edge is almost on the inner radius of the outer oil control o-ring.

Here is a picture of the lexan template with the secondary ports.

The inner edge of the port goes a little under half way between the inner and outer radius of the outer oil control o-ring.

The side seal may hit the upper edge of the ports, but these ports have been beveled on the nose edge of the ports.
Of course, you can't tell from the lexan template.
