Hello everyone,
I am rebuilding a mercruiser 5.0, When I tore down the motor, I found that the heads were cracked. They were casting # 14101081. I bought a set of remanufactured heads, casting # 14102187. Does anyone know if these heads can be used in a marine application? The only differences that I can find are the 081's have round pushrod holes, and the 187's are slotted, and the 081's have larger exhaust valve stems (+.15). Does anyone know anything about these heads?
