Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this kit fits my specific engine model?
The best way is to cross-reference your engine's serial number or original part numbers with our compatibility table. This kit is designed for "wet joint" MerCruiser models listed, primarily from 1968-1982. Please verify the part numbers in your service manual.
What is a "wet joint" exhaust application?
A "wet joint" system is one where engine cooling water passes through the joint between the exhaust manifold and the riser/elbow. This kit is specifically designed to seal these water passages correctly.
What are the signs of a leaking exhaust manifold gasket?
Common symptoms include water leaking externally from the manifold/riser joint, steam in the engine bay, an overheating engine, or, in severe cases, water entering the engine's cylinders, which can cause catastrophic damage. Prompt replacement is crucial.
Is this a complete kit for the job?
This kit includes the primary gaskets for the manifold-to-riser, alternate riser, and carburetor base connections as detailed in the "What's in the Box" section. However, depending on your specific setup, other seals or hardware may be needed. Always consult your service manual.
