The SIERRA 18-0685 valve cover gasket is a critical component ensuring the integrity of the upper module of your outboard motor. Identified by catalog number 18-0685 and EAN 808282120061, this part is specifically designed for Mercury/Mariner engines with a displacement of 3.7L, manufactured between 1976 and 1989.
