Eddie,
Would you please post a part number for the MLS SS exhaust gaskets?

Thanks!

We have Cometic make them for us. They aren't in their catalog or website since they don't advertise them or normally make them. They are 5 layers thick and have both standard GM pattern and the 525 pattern.

i will add that sooner or later the heads will need to be removed for a valve job and new head gaskets,may as well do it now,then you can go 250 to 300 hours and not worry about top end stuff.

How do you only run 20 hours per year? I hope they are balls to the wall hours...

Have the headers been tested for leaks? :eek:

And what exactly are you buying?
38 Fountain EC?
38 Cigarette?
42 Fountain?
Hydrohoist?

Why do you need to pull the engine(s)?

Have you ever pulled heads on a blue motor? I did an no way would I ever do it with them in the boat.
