Ok Ive never been around a thunder tiger outboard (till now) On the front bevel gear bearings is the top one supposed to be pressed on the shaft as in wont let the gear slid up and down the shaft when the case is together, mine dont slide if it did I believe it would cause problems but want to make sure, it has almost zero run time on it and never run on the rebuilt top end (had a problem the first outing and had to have the engine rebuilt) it has been sitting (inside) for a long time not used since. Everything inside looks great but if its ment to be like it is how is the best way to set the gear mesh when going back together, next question is on the K&B's Ive run I just drilled a oil hole or used the factory hole on the newer ones and oiled the lower no grease but with the gear drive is it best to grease the lower? Just not sure on this sucker thats why I ask should sell it and buy a K&B I know them inside and out lol, Thanks
