Hey guys , in trying to replace the tb to plenum gasket i cracked the plenum so i need to buy a new one (junkyard) so i went to napa and tryed to order the appropriate gaskets and they dont carry the tb to plenum gasket for my car .. and cannot order it. I have the old one but it had a vac leak. I need to send my car to be smogged monday so i cant wait to order one. If i rtv both sides of the old gasket can i reuse it. Id eventually get the correct one. Which type of rtv should i use? I need to reuse the gaskets in between the plenums too.

I need help quick , thanks

 

Autozone, under Gasket, Throttlebody p/n 96-3001 $8.00

 

heh sometimes i forget autozone exists with napa and car quest down the street, ill try that tommorow

 

My autozone guys are either stupid or little b*****s, the only way I can get a that gasket outta them is to buy the entire upper half gasket set....I've resorted to just cutting my own, much cheaper.

 

I used to work for AZ, but since non of ya'll live around here, you lost some qaulity service

If any around the La PLata MD way, my bestest buddy was Just made manager there. he knows sheesh loads of sheesh about the mustards, but then nobodies perfect

 

If they dont have the Gasket in stock use Hylomar or grey silicone (AKA Yamma seal and a few other's). Hylomar is aircraft sealant and a very fine spread of it will work, works well enough to use on the jet liners. The grey silicone is also good, much better then regular RTV, forms a hard seal and doesent leak. All avalible at O-Zone.


Hey Project, move to Colorado! I need a new Commercial Rep, I'm getting the old one demoted and or fired monday.

 

I like the hi temp copper RTV.

 

Buy a roll of flat gasket material (black) and an X-acto knife and cut your own.

Felpro makes a kit containing every intake gasket but it's about $35.
