Hi, i ordered the OMC Powerhead Kit for the 1974 johnson 50hp, It came with two gaskets for the reeds, which one should I use? The gasket kit didn't come with any instructions or tips. In the manual it shows the thick one without the hole in the middle for it, just wanted to double check that..

The one with the hole in the center is the one I got when I replaced mine after checking the reed valves.

Ok, I will use that one, thanks! Also do you know anything about the american bosch models and the presolite models?

I used a non hardening sealer on the intake gasket when re installing the intake manifold.
