1992 XR6 sound attenuator box

[BWR1953]

I just learned that my XR6 has partially crunched compression posts in the attenuator box. Like some PO tightened down too much. Can I just run it this way?
And the carb-to-box gaskets were missing. I know I have to replace those.

This seems to be a common problem. Did Mercury ever come up with a fix?

Never mind. It's all done now.
