I have a 1985 boat Searay with the original 260hp mercruiser motor (350 chevy). Im under the impression that my motor would have the 2 piece rear main seal and that the motors starting in 1986 have the 1 piece rear main seal.
2 questions:
1. Am I correct to assume that the 1 piece rear main seal is better and less likely to leak?
2. If I were to get a rebuilt motor (long block) to replace mine, would there be any swap issues for external parts if I were to get a newer, 1986 motor?
