    1996 and newer reeds,v6

    DE2EF090-E0D7-4FDC-99E0-F071D63AD2E7.jpegThese reedsand Cages have a raised my standard of living. I would advise you to change them to a composite reed valve, and save your motor from the damage these ,Sorry,pic didn't load...If I figure it out...

    One piece was large enough to get caught in a port as the piston closed it,wiped a little aluminum at the ring lands and stuck the rings in that spot.Not a disaster,but that cylinder lost 20 lbs compression,and the motor lost around 500 rpm and shook at idle...poor performance across the board.After the re-man,including CCMS reeds and crankcase stuffers it will run better than ever.
    Anyone with a standard merc v6 built from 1996 on should get these steel reeds replaced with composite,It's cheep insurance against damage and improves running and economy at the same time.CCMS is our brand of performance products,reeds,stuffers,and lots of other products,check us out...great reeds backed with the best customer service and price,Chris
    PS,we now service injectors as well...And stock anything you need to get er done...

    Were those 2 stage glass reeds? Or is the line the outline of where the reeds hit the reed stop?

    single stage metal reeds,the line 1/2 way up the reed is a reflexion from the edge of the stops,Chris
