Starting a rebuild on 76/77 150 .

Looking for allowable clearance in the labyrinth seals inside the reed blocks to crank.

New ones are not available ( or high as camel c**k) and I would like to be sure the internals are tight.

Have a std bore "J" block to start with and 3 other powerheads to pull parts from.

Thanks

Not usually a problem part. I would not even bother to check unless the motor was completely worn out, nearly beyond repair.
