{"product_id":"pcm-engine-cooling-gasket-97361","title":"PCM Engine Cooling System Gasket | 97361","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePCM Engine Cooling System Gasket | 97361\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small part with an outsized job. This OEM-specification gasket seals a mating face in the PCM engine cooling system — preventing coolant from weeping at a joint and keeping the cooling circuit pressurized and leak-free. At this price point it’s one of the lowest-cost parts in the engine, but skipping it or reusing a compressed original is a reliable way to end up with a coolant leak after reassembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt to PCM specifications, this gasket is the correct thickness, material, and bore for its position in the cooling circuit, ensuring a proper crush seal when torqued to spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest suited for use any time a cooling system component is disassembled on a PCM inboard engine — thermostat housing, water outlet, or any other gasketed joint in the cooling circuit. Always replace the gasket rather than reusing the original; a used gasket that has already been compressed will not seal reliably when reassembled. Also the correct replacement when a coolant weep or seep is traced to a gasketed joint face rather than a hose connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Engine cooling system gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: PCM inboard engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 97361\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFunction: Seals mating faces in the engine cooling circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecification: OEM replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGasket fitment is specific to the component and joint it seals — confirm using your engine model, serial number, and the assembly location before ordering. When reassembling a gasketed cooling joint, clean both mating faces thoroughly and torque fasteners evenly to the specification in your engine’s service manual; uneven torque is the most common cause of gasket failure on reassembly. If you’re servicing the cooling circuit, also inspect the associated hoses and fittings — see the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pcm-engine-cooling-elbow-97387\"\u003ePCM Engine Cooling Elbow 97387\u003c\/a\u003e for a related cooling system fitting.
