Anti-freeze cooling system gasket...Where to find them?

[mcook5]

I have a 1987 mercruiser 170. i have been having a substantial leak from the front cooling system housing. The gaskets now, of course, need to be replaced, but I'm not sure where to look for them. I have a part #, Mercruiser 27-68714A6. Does iboats carry them? Thanks!

If you are having a leak out the front of the motor.You probably need new cam seals. There is a very tiny pee hole on the front/left. It is there to let you know the seal went bad. If this hole wasn't there it would leak back into the camshft then into the oil.Look for this tiny hole.If you can't find, use a radiator tester then look.Jerry
