The Best seal is pretty cheap, 20$
Dave does good work. I bet your new motor will run real strong..

Yeah i had to raise mine alot when i got to port matching...

The way Wade told me was look at each half of the seal like it was a clock. So with the block upside down the block side would be the bottom half and the cap would be the top half. The block side would be 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. So to sand it you will sand mostly at 6 - 5 and 7 O'clock.Then from there you will taper the rest of the sanding past 8 an 9 and 3 an 4 . This sounds more confusing then it is. Haha..
If i was you i would call Wade and he will walk you through it . He is a real nice guy ...
