Re: force head gasket

Hi,Bob, <br />I have exactly same problem with you too. 90' 120hp Force L-drive. I pulled the header off and find that the two lower cylinders have water. The gasket removed looks not that bad though. Anyway, I'm going to order a new gasket to see if that's the resean.<br /><br />By the way, if you have a difficult to find a loacal Force dealer, I just got a email from one can do mail-orders. It may save you some time to seach one. <br /><br />-----<br /><br />Jim ;<br /><br />By the Model # 120 LD 90C that you provided, your 120hp L-Drive was built in<br />1990. A new Force head gasket for your 120hp, retails for $36.70 and your<br />cost is $29.45 plus $5.00 for Priority Mail with handling.<br /><br />Not in stock right now, my orders from Mercury take 5 to 6 working days to<br />get here, and are sent to you the same day the order arrives.<br /><br />Should you wish to order, please call toll free, 866-247-1092 Pacific time.<br />MasterCard, Discover and Visa bankcards are accepted.<br /><br />Thank you for your inquiry !<br /><br />Larry Riffe<br /><br />Ellisport Bay Marine<br />300 Hwy 200 East<br />Sandpoint, Idaho USA 83864<br />208-263-1468<br />Mon-Sat, 8am-6pm, Pacific time, USA
