Re: Johnson RDE-17R?

Ok so just to be on the safe side I ordered a new seal for the top and bottom of the crankshaft, a cab kit, a lower unit kit, new coils, new condensers, new points, new spark plugs, new exhaust gasket, new impeller and the plastic pin for the throttle linkage. While this thing is completely torn down is there any reason to crack the crank case? I don’t have a compression tester but it felt like it had good compression before tearing it down. Visually looking through the spark plug holes it doesn’t look bad at all. Now I just need a new pump for my parts washer and we will be back in business.
