![]() Less that salt, but they will still corrode. In a car those gaskets are only subject to non-corrosive coolant. Your steel gaskets will still be subject to 'lake' water. I still need to get another intake manifold and since most of the boats are carburater, I wanted to get a 4bbl intake and use one of my old Rochester carbs. So this engine is at the shop right now for cleaning and inspection, but I want to rebuild it completely, change all bearings, rering it, put new timing gears and gaskets and keep it until I find a boat to put it in, or just sell it. Walls were smooth, not much carbon buildup, the block itself had bad intake manifold, the main reason, according to the seller, of removing the engine, don't ask me why. While cranking it, it moved with good amount of torque, I saw that cylinders were in good, at list visually, condition. I took it without asking any questions, just cranked the engine to see if it was seized. This 2001 vortex engine I bought accidentally, was purchasing a set of heads, which were much better than the original ones, and the seller asked me if I need the remaining parts of the engine, block and accessories, all together with the heads for $100. I'm rebuilding it and probably will put the original engine back in the boat.
