As far as the shift rod oring goes I don't completely understand the not fully seating part. There should be a relief the oring goes in at one end of the bushing. There should be a fiber washer that goes in before you seat the bushing then seat the bushing roughly flush with the gearcase casting. You can feel the oring compress the closer you get to flush if you install the shift rod occasionally and feel it. That's it. Lots of grease! Nice to see you back here again. Almost scared to ask what brand parts you purchased  to do your ignition........by all means keep your original OMC points and clean them up and re-install them. </blockquote>
