"....It would be nice to know what the actual size in height each seal should be based on B30a/e/f variants...."

And, to further complicate things, how deep are the channels in the top of the pump compared to an OE pump?

If the seals are too short, it will obviously leak. And if the seals are too tall, they can fold over which will cause it to leak. You also have to be careful that you pry the pump STRAIGHT up - no wiggling left/right or fore/aft if you can help it.
