Installation Notes
- Disconnect the battery and close the fuel and water seacocks.
- Drain the coolant from the exhaust manifold to a level below the riser joint.
- Carefully disconnect any hoses or sensors attached to the exhaust riser/elbow.
- Remove the mounting bolts securing the riser to the manifold. Keep track of their order and condition.
- Gently pry the riser off the manifold. Avoid using excessive force that could damage the mating surfaces.
- Remove the old gasket and thoroughly clean both the manifold and riser mating surfaces. Ensure they are free of old gasket material, rust, and debris.
- Inspect both surfaces for pitting or warping; resurface or replace if damage is found.
- Position the new gasket, ensuring it aligns correctly with the bolt holes and water passages.
- Reinstall the riser and tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer-specified torque in the correct sequence.
- Reconnect all hoses and sensors, open the water seacock, and refill the coolant if necessary.
- Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and carefully check for any exhaust or water leaks around the new gasket.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket fits my engine?
This gasket is designed for MerCruiser V6 and V8 engines (1998–2001) with center rise manifolds. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to check your engine's serial number against the ranges listed in the compatibility table and verify the OEM part number of your existing gasket.
What are the signs of a failing exhaust elbow gasket?
Common symptoms include water leaking externally from the joint between the manifold and riser, water entering the engine cylinders (which can cause catastrophic failure), engine overheating, or a noticeable drop in performance.
Is this a "full flow" or "restricted" gasket?
This is a completely open, full-flow gasket. It is crucial to use the correct type for your engine's cooling system. Using the wrong gasket (e.g., a restricted gasket on a full-flow system) can lead to engine overheating.
Can I reuse my old gasket?
No. Exhaust gaskets are single-use components. They compress and conform to the mating surfaces to create a seal. Reusing one will almost certainly result in leaks.
What is the recommended replacement interval?
Exhaust manifolds and risers in raw water-cooled engines typically have a service life of 3–7 years, depending on usage and water conditions (saltwater vs. freshwater). It is best practice to replace the gaskets whenever the risers or manifolds are removed for inspection or replacement.
Why is the material graphite?
Graphite composite is used for its excellent thermal stability and ability to withstand the high temperatures of the exhaust system. It also conforms well to surface imperfections, ensuring a tight seal against both hot exhaust gases and cooling water.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
