I could not find gaskets for my Neptune at the time I was fixing it up a few months ago (or gasket material was way cheaper; I can’t remember which). If you buy gasket material and cut it yourself you can probably save some time searching for gaskets as well as some money. To get the grease in, I would take off the prop assembly, pack in grease, then put the prop assembly back on. After that, you can take a grease gun and inject it through the grease LU hole while turning over the engine to make sure no spots are missed. Gasket material is cheap off of Amazon or Ebay, but buying premade gaskets for rare-ish motors such as Neptunes will end up costing a lot of time and money to find when you could buy some material to last you through multiple motors. You also then have gasket material on hand and do not have to wait for premade gaskets when you get another project and want to get it running.
