If you have already separated the power head from the tower, I would recommend replacing both seals, simply because you are there. You don’t know if what is there is original or not so this is wonderful preventive medicine.

At this time the case has not been separated from the lower unit. I bought this engine from the original owner, I think it’s all original, because all the bolts still have the original paint. Since it appears to be all original, I think it still has the original seal on the bottom. So, I’m guessing the seal on the bottom would be in good shape since there is oil in the bottom of the case. Is this plausible???? My goal is to get this running without unnecessary replacements.
