Supplied Parts

  • Exhaust manifold gasket

This listing is for the exhaust manifold gasket only, not a complete exhaust manifold assembly or a complete manifold repair kit.

Service & Installation Notes

General service guidance only. Use the service manual for your exact engine and exhaust configuration.

  1. Allow the engine and exhaust system to cool completely and secure the ignition to prevent accidental starting before loosening any fasteners.
  2. Support the exhaust manifold while removing mounting hardware, and protect the cylinder head and manifold mating surfaces from nicks or gouges when cleaning away old gasket material.
  3. Install this gasket at the exhaust manifold mounting position (such as the manifold-to-cylinder head joint identified by MerCruiser 27-53354); do not install it at the exhaust elbow or manifold end-cap joints.
  4. Follow the OEM service manual for fastener tightening sequence and torque specifications, and shut down the engine immediately for inspection if exhaust leaks or abnormal temperatures occur during initial operation.

The Serdamarine Approach

Exhaust parts need a configuration match. Serdamarine focuses on marine exhaust manifolds and their related service parts. Application details, connection requirements and public reference numbers are presented together to support part selection.

Questions Before Replacement

How is this gasket distinguished on OMC 140 HP 3.0L (181 CID) engines?

For OMC 140 HP 4-cylinder 181 CID / 3.0L GM applications (1973–1990), this gasket corresponds to the large-port reference 0908079 / 908079 (GLM 31570), which is distinct from the separately listed small-port reference 3853256 (GLM 33580).

Can this gasket be used for the exhaust elbow or manifold end caps on the same engine?

No. This part is solely for the exhaust manifold gasket position (identifying the manifold-to-cylinder head joint under MerCruiser 27-53354) and is not an exhaust elbow gasket, manifold end-cap gasket, or complete manifold repair kit.
