Re: head gasket

This is the one I thought it was. It is called a Gasket Cylinder Head gasket part number 27-F311996 price is $3.55. This should be a valid merc part number and you should be able to get it from your local merc dealer<br /> <br />Here is a link to the picture<br /> http://www.mercruiserparts.com/showSpecialPicture.asp?pn=F311996
