Each piston requires 3 V seals. The V seals are must softer and easier to install than the rubber ones.

The portafilter gasket is again softer than the rubber/epdm seals which makes locking the portafilter in a bit easier on the wrists. It is also designed to be softer to take into account the use of the E61 screens.
As with any silicone seal, you should only use food safe silicone grease to lubricate them, do not slather it on, a sheen is sufficient. Dow 111 is a good choice.
