One tip is to use oil or lube and a small screwdriver, get it under the rubber O-ring, and gently stretch the O-ring by making circles around the pistonhead a dozen or so times. According to Illusion this is the way to condition the pistonhead O-ring on a Systema Silent Pistonhead, but since it'd a ported pistonhead anyways, it should be done on all piston head O-rings.
From my understanding, if too much grease gets into the port holes it'll effect it in a very negitive way.

From my understanding, those port holes are there to expand the Oring while the piston is moving forward, and contract it when it goes back... If the holes are plugged, it wont expand, you wont get as good compression, if it cant retract, the friction will destroy the Oring and the gun wont run as smoothly.

I use 2 drops of silicon oil in my cylinder, and that's worked perfect for me for the past couple years.
