Gasket Sets

[ekeef01]

Think I have a blown gasket, my 3 and 5 cylinders are jumping compression. So I guess I have to pull the head; with that being said does any one know the difference between the marine gaskets and if I just were to go to O'riely's and get a Chevy 350 set? Thanks in advance.

Ayuh,.... If you're buyin' Quality gaskets, say Fel-pro, you need the Right gaskets for the job...
Part #s for each application needed...

The Marine sets just put what you Need, vs. what you Don't....
As in a car set would cover the egr valve,... No egrs on boats...
Exhaust gaskets can be Very Different too...

So I would be ok with an auto kit...?

The RapidoMarine 305 that I just got came with a FelPro gasket set. The exhaust manifold gaskets were unusable. They need to be one solid piece because of the different setup.

The answer is "no", An automotive set would not be alright. Go to NAPA or other auto supply and have them order a marine head gasket set.
