Hey guys ,
On my port engine ( Merc 496 8.1 475 hours )
On the inboard side there is some rust and water weeping between the manifold and riser . Manifolds and risers were done in 2015 and I pulled them off to inspect and it looks like the gasket came all apart . Do these gaskets sometimes fail ?Should I just clean up the area and slap two new gaskets and a turbolator on ? The manifold from what I can see from the top looks fine .

There is no need to post in multiple categories the same question. Most here use the new posts that show all posts that user has not read yet.

Also if you only have one thread all your answers and any discussion will be together in one place.

Maybe a moderator could combine them.

Good luck on your question...
