What This Gasket Is Used For

A cylinder head gasket seals the joint between the engine block and cylinder head. It must contain combustion pressure while also sealing cooling passages around the cylinders.

On older Mercury and Mariner V6 2.4L engines, head gaskets are commonly replaced during powerhead rebuilds, cylinder head removal, overheating repairs, or diagnosis of water intrusion and compression loss.

Installation Notes

  • Clean and inspect the cylinder head and block sealing surfaces before assembly
  • Check for corrosion, pitting, and warpage before installing a new gasket
  • Use the correct Mercury service manual torque sequence and torque values
  • Inspect head bolts and replace any damaged or questionable hardware
  • Each V6 powerhead uses one head gasket per cylinder head

What Does a Cylinder Head Gasket Do?

The cylinder head gasket creates a seal between the cylinder head and engine block. It keeps combustion pressure inside the cylinders while separating cooling passages from the combustion chamber.

A damaged head gasket can result in compression loss, cooling system leaks, water intrusion, overheating, hard starting, or poor engine performance.

When Should a Head Gasket Be Replaced?

  • During cylinder head removal
  • When repairing overheating damage
  • When rebuilding a powerhead
  • After detecting water intrusion into a cylinder
  • When compression loss indicates gasket failure

A failed cylinder head gasket can allow combustion gases, engine oil, or cooling water to leak between internal engine passages.

Possible symptoms include:

  • Loss of cylinder compression
  • Engine overheating
  • Cooling water entering the combustion chamber
  • Water contamination in engine oil
  • Rough idle or engine misfires
  • Reduced engine performance
  • Difficulty starting
  • Combustion gases entering the cooling system
  • Visible damage to the original head gasket
Diagnostic Reminder

These symptoms can have multiple possible causes. Perform appropriate diagnostic testing before determining that the cylinder head gasket requires replacement.

Installation and Service Tips

Replacing a Mercury Verado L6 cylinder head gasket requires removal of the cylinder head and inspection of the engine's sealing surfaces.

Follow the Mercury service manual for your exact engine serial range and configuration.

Recommended Installation Practices

  • Confirm the complete Mercury engine serial number.
  • Verify that the engine is a compatible 2.6L Inline 6 Verado.
  • Confirm the required Mercury OEM gasket number.
  • Allow the engine to cool before disassembly.
  • Follow the correct cylinder head removal procedure.
  • Inspect the cylinder head and block sealing surfaces.
  • Check for warpage, cracks, corrosion, and other damage.
  • Remove old gasket material without damaging sealing surfaces.
  • Keep debris out of cylinders and internal engine passages.
  • Install the gasket in the correct orientation.
  • Follow Mercury's specified cylinder head tightening sequence.
  • Use the correct torque and tightening procedure.
  • Replace additional seals or fasteners when required by the service manual.
  • Inspect the cooling system for conditions that may have caused the original failure.

Mercury OEM Supersession Information

Mercury OEM 8M0024564 has been superseded by 8M0033476. The replacement gasket may differ in appearance from earlier production versions. Confirm compatibility using the engine's serial number and OEM parts diagram.

What This Part Is Used For

The cylinder head gasket is installed between the cylinder head and engine block on compatible Mercury Verado Inline 6 outboard engines.

Its primary function is to create a sealing interface around the combustion chambers while keeping cooling water and engine oil passages separated.

A properly installed head gasket helps maintain cylinder compression and prevents unwanted fluid movement between the engine's internal passages.

Common Repair Applications

  • Mercury Verado L6 cylinder head gasket replacement
  • 225 HP Verado Inline 6 engine repairs
  • 250 HP Verado Inline 6 engine repairs
  • 275 HP Verado Inline 6 engine repairs
  • 300 HP Verado Inline 6 engine repairs
  • Cylinder head removal and reinstallation
  • Repairs involving cooling water or compression leakage
  • Compatible Mercury Verado powerhead rebuilding

Important Fitment Note

Pro Marine 24564P is intended for select Mercury Verado 225, 250, 275, and 300 HP Inline 6 (L6) 4-stroke outboards.

Mercury produced multiple Verado engine configurations, and gasket compatibility varies by engine family and serial number. Not all Verado engines use the same cylinder head gasket.

This gasket is for the compatible 2.6L Inline 6 Verado applications. It should not be assumed to fit Mercury Verado 4-cylinder engines, V6 engines, V8 engines, V10 engines, or other Verado configurations.

Always confirm your complete engine serial number and the required Mercury OEM gasket number before ordering.

Compatible Mercury Verado Applications

Pro Marine 24564P fits select Mercury Verado 225-300 HP Inline 6 4-stroke outboard engines within the listed serial number ranges.

Engine Family Horsepower Configuration
Mercury Verado L6 225 HP 2.6L Inline 6, 4-Stroke
Mercury Verado L6 250 HP 2.6L Inline 6, 4-Stroke
Mercury Verado L6 275 HP 2.6L Inline 6, 4-Stroke
Mercury Verado L6 300 HP 2.6L Inline 6, 4-Stroke

Understanding Mercury Verado Serial Number Fitment

Mercury Verado L6 outboards were produced in multiple horsepower configurations and production series. Some serial number ranges overlap because they represent different engine variants.

The ranges above are supplied catalog applications and should be checked against the exact engine horsepower and serial number. A matching serial range alone does not establish compatibility with every Verado model.

Pro Marine USA stocks both aftermarket and Genuine Mercury OEM versions of this cylinder head gasket. Choose the option that best fits your repair requirements.

Common Symptoms of a Failed Cylinder Head Gasket

A damaged cylinder head gasket may allow combustion gases, cooling water, or engine oil to leak between internal engine passages.

Possible symptoms include:

  • Loss of compression in one or more cylinders
  • Engine overheating
  • Cooling water entering a combustion chamber
  • Water contamination in engine oil
  • Rough idle or engine misfires
  • Reduced engine performance
  • Difficulty starting
  • Combustion gases entering the cooling system
  • Visible head gasket damage during engine disassembly
Diagnostic Reminder

These symptoms may also be caused by other engine problems. Perform appropriate compression, cooling system, and engine diagnostic testing before replacing the gasket.

Installation and Service Tips

Replacing a Mercury Verado L6 cylinder head gasket requires cylinder head removal and careful inspection of the engine's sealing surfaces. Follow the Mercury service manual for the exact engine serial range.

Recommended Installation Practices

  • Verify the complete Mercury engine serial number.
  • Confirm that the engine is a compatible 2.6L Inline 6 Verado.
  • Confirm the required Mercury OEM gasket number.
  • Allow the engine to cool before beginning disassembly.
  • Follow the correct cylinder head removal procedure.
  • Inspect the cylinder head and engine block sealing surfaces.
  • Check for warpage, cracks, corrosion, and other damage.
  • Remove old gasket material without damaging sealing surfaces.
  • Keep debris out of cylinders, cooling passages, and oil passages.
  • Install the new gasket in the correct orientation.
  • Use the manufacturer's specified fastener tightening sequence.
  • Follow the correct torque and tightening procedure.
  • Replace cylinder head fasteners or additional seals when required by the service manual.
  • Inspect the cooling system for conditions that may have caused the original gasket failure.
  • Check engine operation and cooling performance after reassembly.

Important Cylinder Head Installation Warning

Mercury Verado cylinder head gasket replacement requires correct surface preparation and the proper cylinder head tightening procedure.

Do not install a new cylinder head gasket over warped, cracked, or improperly prepared sealing surfaces. Incorrect installation can result in compression loss, cooling water leakage, overheating, and engine damage.
