Hi all, need someone with some boat experience to help get our new (to us) boat into the water. Purchased the boat with a "blown motor" turned out when I pulled the head that all of the exhaust valves were sunken into the head and the head gasket between cyls 2 and 3 was blown. Had the head repaired with hardend seats and got the gasket kit for the 3.0 ltr. When assembling we noticed the intake gasket does not seal correctly on ports 2 and 3. It appears that in a previous repair, we found the invoice in the paper work with the boat, the head had been replaced. When talking to my machinest he said it was a 2.5ltr head not a 3.0ltr head....
Any idea if I can use a 2.5 intake gasket with the 3.0ltr intake/exhaust manifold?? Hoping, especially now that we spent the money on the head work, that there is a way to make the intake seal, also alittle worried about coolant passages and oil passages in the head with the 3.0ltr head gasket. Can anyone give me any info? Thanks for your time.
