I have it apart now no broken or stuck rings. They have about .25ths end gap and the edges are real sharp. This motor shows some signs that it was once rusty inside. Not a roller bearing anywhere in this baby. Looks like none of the OMC 7 1/2hp have real bearings. No wonder they quit making them. I have manuals from ’55 to ’64 but this my first major tear down on one of these motors.
