Probably better if you use google and then type in how to install Mercury Marauder cam covers.

If you use the search function on this site it's kinda difficult to find what you are actually looking for. Takes too much time and a lot of patience.

But step one of the directions says this:

OK let me start off by saying that this is one of the biggest PITA job's I have ever done on a car or truck! If you are easily discouraged, impatient or not very mechanically inclined, then I suggest not attempting this job yourself.

I weap for the future. Perhaps you should take it to a good mechanic and pay the labor.


This is a great writeup Paul! I think this could be stickie. http://www.mercurymarauder.net/revie...cat/all/page/1 (http://www.mercurymarauder.net/reviews/showproduct.php/product/55/sort/2/cat/all/page/1)

Make sure you grind that inside edge on the PS cover really good! That's the difference between success and fail. I actually loosened my engine mount bolts and jacked up the PS of the engine to help too.
