Hi,
I am about to install my new riser. It is a brand new one. It has paint where the gasket goes...(they say it is to protect it from rust, and keep it preserved until it is sold)... Should I scrap off this paint off as it can cause problem sealing with the gasket?
I am not sure if that is a factory paint or no, I see no paint overlap etc.. but the riser also is painted from the inside....
It is a cast Iron riser used for a mercruiser 165 inline 6.
Thanks
