I have roughly a 1978 Mercruiser 3.0 serial number 4920382.
I have seen videos on the same engine getting rebuilt and he had the blue one piece gasket. im sure the engine he was working on was newer. Do they make a one piece gasket for my engine..
We had our engine machined at a machine shop ( bore, hone, new bearings, new pistons, rebuilt head. I had them order the lower end gasket set and it came with 4 pieces.

im not finding a one-piece gasket from Fel-Pro for the 1990 and older 2.5/3.0 however I am sure one exists.

Summit felpro # 17952 shows the gasket
if you order the gasket and it does not match what you have they have a good return policy.

Was the bushing for the lower distributor shaft also replaced? It is located just above the oil pump. If it is worn and not replaced it causes the point gap/dwell & timing to not hold steady.
