Should anything be used on the heat exchanger rubber gaskets or do I put them on dry?

Do the gaskets need to be replaced each time the covers are removed?
Where do you get them for $5.00?At $5 I just replace them. I also carry a set in the onboard tool box
I found them online. I didnt bookmark the website but at that price each, I bought several sets. I researched the part number and found an obscure page and bought a bunch.Where do you get them for $5.00?
ok, thank youI found them online. I didnt bookmark the website but at that price each, I bought several sets. I researched the part number and found an obscure page and bought a bunch.
I hear you. I was looking for a pressure cap for my heat exchanger, crazy mark up for mercruiser. Another member suggested NAPA so I figured why not, 16 pounds is 16 pounds as long as the cap fits. Got it for less than $8, I can buy 8 from NAPA for the price of 1 mercruiser part.That is how I get all of my small parts. Makes it easier and lower cost than local rip offs. Usually half the price of local shops that way. And without their high and mighty attitude.
Thank you for that information, I will try Advanced Auto next time.Local NAPA orders everything from the WM area DC. And they always get the wrong part at least twice. Advanced Auto or Carquest gets the AC Delco parts for pretty low cost. And have a marine part and a car part. But the marine shops are getting really bad with their mark up in the last few years. Here in PDX, if you need it now, WM is the only real choice.
