Exhaust plate question

[200valeroyt]

can a 2.4 ex plate be used on a 2.5? I don't believe it can, but have never looked?

if its a 2pice plate no find a set of 2.5 plates (my opinion ) if your talking a 1pice 2.4 plate on a steel bore 2.5 motor then yes it can be done with some water mods

I'm referring to the ex divider plate on back of block.

Sry my bad no clue

No, They will not work. The bolt patterns are different and there is a width difference. I am almost 100% sure the 2.5 is wider.

No problem. Just a question or are you needing a plate?? There are a couple of variations of the 2.5 plate as well.

I need a 2.5 plate with the threaded holes for coil mounting.

Here is a pic (sorry a bad one) of the 2.5L that I installed OMC coils on. They are working out great so far and cost 1/2 of a set of merc coils.

Mercury coils are only 25 bucks a piece. OMC's are half that price??????

If you look these are double coils so you have $33.95 X 3 coils versus $29.79 X 6 coils. These are Pro Marines price. So almost 1/2 price not exactly:D We all know what problems the merc coils have with the magnets cracking and this will generate multiple magnetic fields lowering output voltage. I had a customer that had 5 coils with cracked magnets. We replaced them and done nothing else and he picked up 400 RPMs! This is as per the customer not me. Just my .02!
