You asked this same question on April 7th.  I sent you a p-mail
explaining that I'd had this same thing happen on 3 different engines
and that after making sure the bottom O-Ring wasn't gouged or broken
(and that the area is clean) that I had just pushed the jug back in
place without problems.

You didn't say ... but did the piston rings come out of the cylinder?
If so, that's a whole different question.
