    Buckineer,
    The KF5 requires removal of the crankshaft to install the seal. The seal sits in the block just below the bearing. Both require to be installed from inside the block & requires a little recess below the inside deck surface. This MUST be set accurate in order the end clearances to be correctly. The seal rides on the crankshaft surface inside the block. Yes the water line adapter has three phillips screws & a new gasket. Leaving the exhaust housing in place use a 24" long 1/4" extension to center it in the crank, then install the screws.
