Installation Notes

  1. Disconnect the battery and drain the engine coolant completely.
  2. Remove the cylinder head cover, intake and exhaust manifolds, and any other components obstructing access to the head bolts.
  3. Following the manufacturer's service manual, loosen the cylinder head bolts in several passes in the reverse order of the tightening sequence.
  4. Carefully lift the cylinder head from the engine block. Avoid scratching the mating surfaces.
  5. Remove the old head gasket. Thoroughly clean the mating surfaces on both the engine block and cylinder head.
  6. Position the new gasket correctly on the engine block; check for proper orientation.
  7. Carefully lower the cylinder head back into place over the dowel pins.
  8. lubricate and install new head bolts. Tighten them in the specified sequence and torque stages according to your service manual.
  9. Reassemble all components, refill the cooling system, and reconnect the battery.
  10. Start the engine and check for any coolant or oil leaks.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if this head gasket fits my engine?

Verify your engine's serial number against the ranges provided in the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table. This part is specifically designed for certain Mercury/Mercruiser 75-200 HP 4-stroke engine models. Cross-referencing the OEM part number (27-8M0024565) is the most reliable method.

What are the common signs of a blown head gasket?

Typical symptoms include engine overheating, a noticeable loss of power, white smoke from the exhaust (indicating burning coolant), milky or frothy engine oil, and unexplained coolant loss. Any of these signs warrant an inspection.

Does this gasket require sealant during installation?

This gasket is designed to be installed dry. Do not use any additional sealants or adhesives unless explicitly instructed by your engine's official service manual, as this can interfere with proper sealing.

Can I reuse my old cylinder head bolts?

No. Most modern engines, including those listed, use torque-to-yield (TTY) bolts that permanently stretch upon first use. Reusing them can result in improper clamping force and lead to premature gasket failure. Always install new head bolts.

How is an aftermarket part different from OEM?

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 is the recommended replacement interval?

Cylinder head gaskets are not considered a routine maintenance part. They are only replaced when there is a failure. With proper installation, a quality aftermarket gasket should last for many years under normal operating conditions.

What are typical shipping speed & cost?

We ship worldwide quickly—typical transit 5–15 days. Standard shipping is free; expedited options appear at checkout where available.

What is your warranty & return policy?

Covered by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects under normal use. If issues arise, contact support with your order details. Returns are accepted within our standard window (unused & in original condition). See our policy page or reach out for instructions.
