Worked up to 1/2", checked to make sure the hole was still within the gasket contact circle.

Did you use a router bit, or drill bits? I would think you'd want to open that passage back up towards the center.

Drill bits. I checked and the larger hole is still within the gasket. I think it will be fine.
