Now that I have started working the engine again, I need to obtain gaskets for the heads and exhaust. Any leads please?? Graymarine 225C.
See postings on Century Sabre below.
Thanks.

Pat, thanks for the info. I might be needing other things also. I won't know until I break things in the cleaning process

I've sent a mail to johnautomac74@aol.com and got nothing also tried A&A Marine and still no replys. Are there any reputable dealers who handle these parts? Copper head gaskets, exhaust and intake manifold gaskets.
Thanks,
Cal |

John was in touch with me today, things are in motion. I hope by next Tuesday I will have some gaskets in the pipeline. I needed the head, exhaust and intake sets.
Thanks again Pat.

Pat, here is a link to the marine engine.com discussion of this engine. Sorta a history of the boat. Now that the cold weather is setting in eastern WI I have to stop the varnishing (hull work) and can concentrate on the engine more. I have alread begun to strip the engine and clean up/repair some of the parts. I'll post more pics soon.

I think I gave the wrong link. It is posted under the Century Saber fireball 225c discussion.

This should get you there, also posted pics of the repair and refurbish of the oil, transmission coolers and the fuel pump. The oil cooler had split off at the joint. It was an opportunity to inspect the tubes and make sure they were in good condition. I cleaned and resoldered the end, check for leaks, polished it up with fine steel wool and then applied several coats of clear gloss laquer.

Pat, got a phone call from Kim today, they have all the gaskets I need . Will be working out the details on Friday. I could find nothing around here in the Green Bay area, even from NAPA.
Again thanks for the info.
