According to Hayward's information, the impeller you want to use was paired with a 1.5thp motor from the factory. It will work with your 1.65thp V-Green.1.65hp
I have this

It was suggested that I upgrade it when I installed. Here's the thread

Pump question
I have a Hayward super pump. It’s about 3 years old. We purchased the house last year. We have been having problems with the gfci tripping and the electrician tested everything and said there must be water getting into the pump somehow. Then all of a sudden the pump for very loud.

The black shiny part on this seal is the same as the white ceramic on others correct?
Where does the seal lube go. I've seen a few video instructions but none seem to mention it.

I've cleaned it off pretty good with a dish sponge. I'd like to neutralize it so I'm thinking of washing it down with a water and baking soda mix.
Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Does the hayward sp2607x10 not have an impeller ring? I don’t see one in the diagram.
Super Pumps have no impeller "wear" ring. The only part that should be lubed is the rubber cup the "ceramic) portion of the seal is in. A LIGHT coat right at the corner will help it to seat properly. NEVER lube the faces of the seal.
That was a long-time seal leak. Don't be too surprised to start to hear the bearings start to "sing" in the future. I've seen it be anywhere between a couple of weeks after a pump has been disturbed (repaired) to a couple of years.
“sing” meaning it will eventually corrode through and damage the bearings? Or something else?
They get very noisy. When I was first in the business, a long time ago, I would drive through areas that I knew had a lot of pools. You can hear bad bearings half a block or more away if you know what to listen for. Made a lot of "cold calls," but built my business from scratch.
Sorry to say, but with that much leakage, your bearings are already damaged. Just a matter of time. Just the nature of pools.
In your opinion should I have someone inspect/replace the bearings proactively? Would that make a difference? (My guess is no)
Should I do nothing and hope it lasts for a few more years?
Bearing replacement can become an issue if the motor through bolts are frozen. If the bolts remove easily then I would entertain replacing the bearings if the motor runs good now. You can always set it aside as a backup unit.
