Hey guys ,
On my port engine ( Merc 496 8.1 475 hours )
On the inboard side there is some rust and water weeping between the manifold and riser . Manifolds and risers were done in 2015 and I pulled them off to inspect and it looks like the gasket came all apart . Do these gaskets sometimes fail ?Should I just clean up the area and slap two new gaskets and a turbolator on ? The manifold from what I can see from the top looks fine .
