Mike,
Toss it and buy a new one from the vendors. I don't know how much they cost,
seem to remember it was between $10 to $20 the last time I bought one. A new
one will seat correctly.
I'll take a wild guess that you should reprime the oil pump if it sits more
than a few days. Mostly 'cause a running engine would toss the oil around
really good but yours is just rebuilt and never run, just primed.
