I have sold this issue and bought me a monster mill.

A thorough disassembly and cleaning solved the issue for me.

Yes the #13 o-ring has to be stretched over the roller. They are smaller than I first envisioned too but it was a compromise between performance and durability of the rubber in order to maintain a finer gap in the mill.

I'm toying with the idea of two rings next time.
