About this part
Wet-joint exhaust manifold gasket repair kit for MerCruiser Model 140 sterndrive installations using the GM 181 CID inline-four (4-cylinder) engine from 1968 through 1982. The kit supplies the exhaust manifold-to-cylinder-head gasket, open and closed-cooling manifold-to-elbow gaskets, a Rochester carburetor mounting gasket, and a drain plug with O-ring referenced to component numbers 27-53354, 27-99777Q02, 27-92720, 27-64692, and 8M0119211.
Match the application
Use this kit when servicing the exhaust manifold gasket interfaces and drain plug on the specified 1968–1982 MerCruiser Model 140 wet-joint application. Confirm the engine model, year, GM 181 CID inline-four configuration, and wet-joint exhaust arrangement before purchase, and do not select a gasket solely because engine displacement is similar.

Workshop sequence
General workshop guidance only; use the service procedure for your exact drive or engine configuration.
- Confirm that the engine is a 1968–1982 MerCruiser Model 140 (GM 181 CID inline-4) equipped with a wet-joint exhaust manifold before disassembly.
- Compare the removed manifold-to-elbow gasket against the supplied open-cooling gasket (referenced to 27-99777-2 / 27-99777Q02) and closed-cooling gasket (referenced to 27-92720) so the water passage layout matches the installed cooling arrangement.
- Clean and inspect the cylinder head, exhaust manifold, exhaust elbow, Rochester carburetor mounting surface, and drain plug port before installing the new gaskets and drain plug with O-ring according to the service manual for your engine.
