I was just adding parts/prices up tonight for my headgasket job on my 3.0 Merc.

The part numbers for the FelPro gasket sets seem to be:

17200 - Head Gasket, valve cover, and some misc gaskets:

-&-

17301 - Intake/Exhaust gasket

Are these all of the gaskets I'd need to reinstall the head on a 3.0 Merc? How about head bolts? Are they reusable?

Before starting the job, I would spend an evening reading the appropriate section in the service manual, read it once and then I would read it again. It should tell you all you need to know and what to expect.

Good luck

Rob.

Re: Parts/Gasket checklist for 3.0 Merc Headgasket job

I read what I had available and it seems like its a fairly straightforward job.

I verified the P/Ns on the gaskets and they are the correct ones. I am missing a few tho.

I need a carb to manifold gasket and also the riser to manifold gasket.

Any ideas on the P/Ns? Anyone?
