the bore.

do you think I should go ahead and order another seal?

I wonder if a little air pressure up the breather might help
that seal come out again? And then check the bore to see that there
isn't some dried adhesive in there that may be interfering with the
sealing of the seal against the case.
But just a little pressu you don't want to start blowing
gaskets or tachometer drive seals.

I'm hesitant on the air pressure but will think on it.

Tomorrow I will look at the old chewed up seal to see if I can possibly pry
at seal/case edge on 4-8-12 oclock positions and conceivably get it out in
one piece. My gut says I'll destroy it and need to order another G.

Some months back I put a new seal on a C-85 and had it continue to leak.
After a LOT of head scratching it turned out that the breather, which exited
through the cowl, had been repositioned and was pressurizing the crankcase.

I'm 99% sure it is not pressurizing but wonder if you used a sealant tween
the seal and case?
