    A standard O-ring will work but the quad rings will seal better. Here’s a link to quad rings at McMaster Carr

    On your picture from Marine Engine, what looks like a rubber lip on the carbon seal is actually the raised lip I was talking about – it’s an integral part of the carbon seal itself. That lip should face the crankcase.

    There is only 1 O-ring inside the carbon seal. There is a larger O-ring that goes around the lower crank bearing – you will have to split the case to replace that one.
