Installation Guide

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool and disconnect the battery terminals for safety.
  2. Drain the engine cooling system as required to access the exhaust components without spillage.
  3. Carefully unbolt and remove the exhaust riser or elbow from the exhaust manifold.
  4. Remove the old gasket and meticulously clean both mating surfaces. Use a scraper or wire brush to remove all old gasket material, rust, and debris.
  5. Position the new 27-863724 gasket on the manifold, ensuring it is correctly aligned with the bolt holes and passages.
  6. Reinstall the exhaust riser/elbow and tighten the bolts in a crisscross pattern to the manufacturer's specified torque.
  7. Reconnect all hoses and refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant.
  8. Reconnect the battery, start the engine, and carefully inspect the gasket area for any signs of water or exhaust leaks.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Q: How do I confirm this gasket fits my engine?
A: This gasket fits MerCruiser V6 and V8 engines (1981-1997) that use a center rise outlet exhaust manifold. Please check the "Compatible Engine Models" table and cross-reference your OEM part number (e.g., 27-863724, 27-41813) to ensure a match.

Q: Is this a restrictor gasket or an open gasket?
A: This is a restrictor-style gasket for standard cooling systems. It is designed to regulate water flow for optimal engine temperature in specific applications.
