Hi there,
Im in the process of rebuilding my 2.4 v6 mercury. I have noticed that the 3rd crankshaft sealing ring is missing, i understand that this is down the where the oil drive gear should be, my oil pump system has been removed so i was going to fill in the gap where the drive gear should go to even out the compression in that chamber. Once this is done will i need to install a sealing ring to the empty slot on the crank or is it best left off? I was going to fill and shape the drive gear hole with epoxy and match it to the other chambers.
Cheers
