I am into the final stretch of getting my gear cases back together and noticed a potential problem.
The seal groove is about 1/8" wide and the Spaghetti Rubber Seal is much less in diameter…….
I ordered two gear case seal kits from two different vendors and both are the same size.
The photos I see (such as Figure 6-18) the rubber seal is the same size as the groove in the case.
Any thoughts on this ? And yes, I have gently lapped all mating surfaces and they are dead flat
and also have some Scotch-Weld 847 sealer.
This is the same issue for a ’66 33hp and ’60 40hp Johnson.
