Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket will fit my engine?
This gasket is specifically designed for Ford 2.3L (140 CID) engines used in OMC Cobra stern drives during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Always cross-reference your existing part number with the ones listed (OMC 913393, Sierra 18-0401) and check the compatibility table.
What are the signs of a failed manifold gasket?
Common symptoms include a noticeable exhaust leak (loud ticking or hissing from the engine bay), decreased engine performance, visible soot or black streaks around the manifold, and potential water leaks into the cylinders if the manifold is water-cooled.
Do I need to use sealant with this gasket?
Generally, modern manifold gaskets like this are designed to be installed dry without any additional sealant. Always consult your engine's service manual for the official recommendation, as some applications may have specific requirements.
What is the difference between this and an OEM gasket?
This is an aftermarket replacement part, not OEM. It is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications for fit, form, and function, providing a reliable and cost-effective alternative.
How often should a manifold gasket be replaced?
Exhaust manifold gaskets do not have a fixed replacement interval. They should be replaced whenever the exhaust manifold is removed or if signs of a leak are detected.
Can I reuse my old manifold bolts?
It is best practice to use new bolts when replacing an exhaust manifold or gasket, as old bolts can stretch, weaken, or corrode, leading to improper torque and potential leaks. Check your service manual for bolt specifications.
Is this part OEM or 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.
What are the shipping speed and cost?
