Very pleased to see my new mercruiser exhaust manifold for my 3.0 lx
came in yesterday -no more front and back plates seems like its a more one piece design not sure if its good or bad but saved me from buying a replacemt back plate. also came with fuel line unfortunately a little banged up by ups and all bolts and fittings and hose. Happy camper here.

i always use copper slip on paper gaskets.it helps removal of component as the gasket is not stuck to lets say the block and exhaust etc.water circulating pump & rocker covers too.
