Be sure your motor has no water in the tower assembly before turbing it upside down. It will get water into the powerhead. What ever sealer  you use blean the mating surfaces with acetone to insure a super bond, OMC motors I install the shift shaft on the o ring to avoid ripping the o ring  with the threads, then install the brass keeperthen the pressure in the o ring can be regulated plus a light film of inert lube to avoidany extra friction.

Just the way I did it.
