Re: oil seal

Which seal are you referring to? Normally, gearcase seals have the spring toward the lube.

Yes, yes. I don't remember seeing an oil seal where I could see the spring on the outside....

Oh sorry, let me clarify. If it is the waterpump base, the spring points up. If it is the waterpump housing, the spring faces downward.

Just don't drive the seal in from the spring-side, and you're good to go.
