Product Specifications and Features

REC17010 is a marine cylinder head gasket for GM 262 CID / 4.3L V6 petrol engines used in MerCruiser, Volvo Penta, OMC, Crusader and other marinised GM V6 applications.

This gasket seals one cylinder head to the engine block, helping maintain compression while keeping combustion pressure, oil and cooling passages separated. A complete V6 cylinder head service normally uses two head gaskets, one per bank.

Designed for marine 4.3L V6 use, REC17010 replaces key OEM references including MerCruiser 27-879150140, Volvo Penta 3854299, OMC / Bombardier 0509243 and Sierra 18-3879.
