hi all. rebuilding my Mercruiser 140 this week.

but I got a little problem. i can no longer get a hold of a oil pan gasket for my Mercruiser 140, 1986, A401501 here in Norway. and i need to get the boat floating and ready to go on friday.

would it be alright to use "engine sealant", i couldn't find the correct word for it.. but I`ve used this on several cars previously..
but on this engine I can sense a little problem getting it properly sealed in the rear of the engine.

I'll answer in Swedish. A bit esier for me and my iphone. Sorry folks

Jag tror det fungerar med packningsmassa. T?nk bara p? att l?ta det h?rda en stund innan du drar med fullt moment. Hade samma problem med min oljetr?gspackning men jag anv?nde en del av den gammla och "skarvade" in den del som jag inte fick tag p? ny. Se till att fylla skarvarna lite extra och l?ta det stelna. Nu l?r du vara p? sj?n redan. Hoppas du f?r en fin fredag

Larsone, takk. Men jeg fikk faktisk tak i pakning i siste liten. :) 4delt, men ble tett. Takk for tipset.

In English, actually got hold of a 4 piece gasket set in time. And it is not leaking. :)

I had one of those once, but the wheels fell off... :D :D

Glad you got it sorted.... Happy boating... from the other side of the planet. (I was in Norway 6 months ago, Alesund and Stavanger.... Loved it!!!))..

Cheers,
