Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool and disconnect the battery.
  2. Drain the engine coolant to a level below the exhaust manifolds.
  3. Carefully remove the exhaust riser/elbow from the exhaust manifold.
  4. Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly, removing all old gasket material and corrosion.
  5. Place the new gasket onto the manifold, ensuring proper alignment with the bolt holes and passages.
  6. Reinstall the riser/elbow and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's specified torque in the correct sequence.
  7. Refill the cooling system, reconnect the battery, and start the engine.
  8. Check for any exhaust or water leaks around the gasket area.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this is the right gasket for my engine?

This is a "full flow" gasket, meaning it's completely open. It fits specific MerCruiser V6 and V8 engines from 1998–2001 with center rise manifolds. It is critical to verify your engine model and serial number against the compatibility list. Do not use this part if your engine requires a restricted or water-blocking gasket.

What are the signs of a failed riser gasket?

Common symptoms include water leaking externally from the joint between the manifold and riser, water in the engine oil (milky oil), engine overheating, or steam from the exhaust. If you notice any of these signs, inspect the gasket and surrounding components immediately to prevent catastrophic engine damage.

Can I reuse my old riser bolts?

It is strongly recommended to use new bolts when replacing exhaust gaskets. Old bolts can stretch, corrode, or fatigue, leading to improper torque and potential leaks. Always apply thread sealant to the new bolts if required by your service manual.

How often should riser gaskets be replaced?

Replacement interval depends heavily on usage and environment (freshwater vs. saltwater). As a general rule, inspect your exhaust system annually. Gaskets should be replaced whenever the risers are removed or every 3-5 years in saltwater environments as part of preventative maintenance.

Is any sealant needed with this gasket?

Generally, these gaskets are designed to be installed dry. Applying sealant can sometimes interfere with the seal. However, always consult your engine's specific service manual, as recommendations can vary.

What is the difference between a full flow and a restricted gasket?

A full flow gasket has large, open passages for coolant. A restricted gasket has smaller passages to control water flow, typically used in specific cooling system configurations (like closed cooling systems). Using the wrong type can lead to engine overheating or improper cooling.

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.
