As an update, I highly recommend using some sealant (like RTV silicone) on the mating surfaces of the two plastic coolant connectors. Both of mine have leaked since I have done this.
I think I'm going to replace these again this coming spring to fix leaks. I'm going to use a film of rubber safe grease on the bore and o-ring so they slide in better. I'll also use silicone where the machined face of the block & head meets the face of the plastic connector. Or, possibly just use silcone all over as both a lubricant and sealant.
