EGR gasket not available?

suddenly no one carries the gasket that goes between the exhaust manifold and the tube that the EGR valve sits on. anyone else ever had this problem? ive gotten it a few times before and now suddenly its not available at any parts stores or the dealer???

if anyone knows where i can get one or knows of a part number, it would be greatlly appreciated.

Next time you go to the parts store, ask them for a FelPro MS 93020 gasket kit. The gasket is included in the kit, and all of the separate part numbers for the gaskets are on the label. However, there is not (in my experience, anyways) supposed to be a gasket in that location. Each time I have put one there, the tube actually leaks worse than without it.

What about trying to add to the mix, exhaust gasket sealant in a tube?
As in lots!

That's what I used on mine. Red high temp sealant. Haven't had any problem with it leaking.
