"Hello, I am in the process of installing new manifolds and risers to my 2001 Volvo Penta GI. This is being done for just maintenance. Just for grins, I checked the compression and got 185-190 in all but one. The number 2 cylinder was 175-180, which I think is acceptable.
\ Anyway, the surface on the head where the manifold attaches to the head is somewhat pitted on the surface to the center two cylinders on both heads.
I am using OEM manifolds and gaskets. Should I use some type of "copper coat" or permatex RTV on the gasket between the head and manifold? Also, the new riser gasket is metal. Should I use any thing on that gasket? I heard on another post not to.... What is the torque spec for both the risers and manifold?
Any other tips? What type of sealant or anti seize should I put on the bolts? I heard you are not suppose to use anti seize in marine applications due to dissimilar metal corrosion. Is that true?"
