It seals the cylinder head-to-block joint, maintaining proper compression and preventing coolant or combustion leaks that can lead to lost power, overheating, or head damage. This gasket is a direct equivalent to the original Johnson\/Evinrude 306163 and 322332 gaskets, so it installs using the same mounting pattern and torque specifications as the OEM part it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach package contains one gasket, sold individually for a single head gasket replacement job. Sierra manufactures this gasket to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment part, making it a reliable choice when servicing a 50 HP Johnson or Evinrude power head during a rebuild, head removal, or leak repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-2962\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evinrude Outboard Power Head Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 gasket per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 030999314611\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eJohnson and Evinrude 50 HP (1971-1975) outboard engines\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e306163\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e322332\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the Sierra 18-2962 head gasket fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This gasket is built for Johnson and Evinrude 50 HP (1971-1975) outboard engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat OEM part numbers does the 18-2962 replace?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a direct interchange for Johnson\/Evinrude outboard head gaskets 306163 and 322332.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra 18-2962 an OEM or aftermarket gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is an aftermarket Sierra-manufactured gasket engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the original 306163 and 322332 Johnson\/Evinrude gaskets it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many gaskets come in one package of the 18-2962?\u003c\/strong\u003e One head gasket is included per package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the 18-2962 head gasket weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2962 head gasket weighs 0.09 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the Sierra 18-2962 head gasket?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is white.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 18-2962 work on any Johnson or Evinrude outboard?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, this gasket is specific to Johnson and Evinrude 50 HP (1971-1975) engines and should be matched to that engine before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-2962 require any additional gaskets or seals to complete a head gasket job?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing covers the head gasket itself; check your engine's other seals and hardware separately since only the head gasket is included in this package.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the 18-2962 be used as a direct swap without modification?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, since it is interchangeable with the original 306163 and 322332 gaskets, it installs in place of those parts on a Johnson\/Evinrude 50 HP power head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between using an OEM Johnson\/Evinrude gasket versus the Sierra 18-2962?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-2962 is manufactured to meet or exceed the specification of the original 306163 and 322332 gaskets, providing the same fit and sealing performance as the OEM part.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988135784667,"sku":"SIE-18-2962","price":28.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/SIE-18-2962_lg__95896.1558125570.500.750.jpg?v=1785188114","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/head-gasket-for-johnson-evinrude-50-hp-outboard-1971-1975-replaces-oem-322332-sierra-18-2962","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
