You have to make sure you have the correct adapter to exhaust plate. Thats exactly the problem we had in the 2.4 black max. The guy that put it together used a 2.5 adapter plate on a 2.4 power head and mid. Burnt the engine up.

Forgot to mention the lower plate was a 2.4 plate. It was 2.4 power head, 2.5 adapter plate into 2.4 exhaust plate. It did not line up at all. If the 2 plates were the same if would be fine, ours however was not. Crazy how you can bolt the wrong thing in there, bolt patterns were the same.

With a matching plate and adapter yes it is safe.

as long as "both pieces" are tha same.. either 2.4 or 2.5.. if exhaust doesn't match block run tha metal infused PH gasket to match tha larger exhaust whether its tha block openin' or plate openin'...……...jmo
