Replacing the gaskets on the elbow exhausts cause it was rusting and leaking. Can I get a verification from the pictures that the elbow exhaust assembly is still good?

Thanks I’m advance!

Looks are ok, but are they flat?
Take a framing square or other steel ruler and suck and see if they are flat. Might need to put a flat file across them to true them up

Right on. Thank you. Didn’t know if cause they were leaking the rust in the ports was okay or not.

Those rusty cavity areas are the water jacket. They will rust.....

If they are salt used and over 4 years old, pitch them. If not, you should create a piece of flat metal and block off motor side, then pour acetone into the water side and check for leaks.
