Is there a prefered brand of gaskets for the merc 502?

I'm going to need to pull the exhaust, upper intake, and maybe valve covers to detail and paint it, so I'll need to order a few gaskets. I was going to just call up Summit and order Fellpro's for a '01 502/454 but figured I might as well see if there was anything I might want to know first.

Zel, you got it right. just remember never I repeat never use the white paper kind. There has also been some issues, not many with the copper exhaust ones in a Marine enviorment, with aluminum exhausts.

Felpro

17341 for a standard 454-502 carb.

17342 for gen V-VI 454-502 efi.

17400 for the exhaust manifolds

valve covers you can use the standard late model 92 and up truck 454 gaskets..
