    I wouldn't trust the rebuild without the seal. Although the Crankcase is supposed to have a minimum pressure variant from blow-by gasses; at high rpm's the Oil is getting "Slinged ~ (Slung) ... with enough volume that it might find a way to compromise the Head Gasket.

    I'd replace it.

    This falls into the category of the "Part being there for a reason"!

    Look up Chacal he is the man with the parts. He will be able to help you with all your rebuild needs.
