Seem too much to examine? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
look over
'examine?' is the definition.
(looking over is a kind of examining)
'seem too much' is the wordplay.
'seem' becomes 'look' (synonyms).
'too much' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'look'+'over'='LOOK-OVER'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for look over that I've seen before include "Read through briefly" , "Inspect" .)
