You should be able to rule out cracked head/block then so that is good. I believe I would do a compression test on 1 and 3 to make sure there isn't another issue there.

From what i remember the bowtie blocks were not gen V they were mark blocks..
what year is your boat or engine.. if its a bowtie block it would have the chevy emblun caster on the side of it..
the 17249 is a upper end gasket kit for a gen v engine..
Do you remember if the lower water jackets in the heads were a diamond shape ?

I am a dumbass and cannot remember if the holes were round or diamond shaped.
The label on the box said it worked for "502 Bowtie".
I am now confused ..................

check the casting number on the back of the block and find out forsure what you have..
check the side of the block by the motor mounts,,if theirs a 8.2 then its just a standard 502 gen V block..
