Thank you Bob. You have now confirmed my assumption. I opened up the crankcase many months ago, but it took a very long time to get parts needed from the USA. Marineengine doesn’t sell to customers outside the USA / Canada, but finally I found out that many parts are the same in 1968, so that made it possible for me to order from Crowley Marine. Luckily I also found some retailers in Norway who had some of the parts I needed. Finally I did some purchases on ebay. After 6 months of investigation and work I managed to get all the parts I needed to perform a total overhaul of the complete outboard from 1960. The gearcase (Lower unit) and exhaust housing are  ready and totally rebuilt and waiting for the Power Head to be mounted. The same goes for Carburetor, Ignition system, Steering Handle and Hand Starter. So right now I try to figure out everything i need to know before I assemble the Power Head. Cylinders are honed, new pistons and rings installed, connecting rods are ready installed on the crank shaft, so next move now is to mount the Crank Case Cover. Now I think I’m ready to do that.

Thanks for all advice and help.
