hey guys. seems like i am replacing my intake plennum gaskets alot. scraping off these crappy paper gaskets is a PITA. i was wondering if anyone makes a metal gasket that is re-usable for this application. like copper or somthing. i asked NAPA and they said no.

thanks.

 

lol i have mine off alot to when i change injectors,ive never had to change my gaskets though.when i installed new gaskets i used hi tack spray on the upper plenum and stuck the gaskets to it.once it dried all the way i then reinstalled the upper plenum.since then ive had it apart maybe 6-8 times and the same gaskets are still on it

 

TACK SPRAY?! Awsome idea, dave. You mean like the 3m adhesive spray?

 

yeah its like that,its specially made for gaskets though it says "hi tack" right on the can,the can is blue.u can get it at anyparts store,though i cant think of the name of the company that makes it

 

Thanx, I'll be able to find it..

 

im thinking loctite makes it

 

Ive been replacing mine so much lately, they never get fully stuck.

 

Have you tried this product dave is talking about?

 

sounds like a good idea. i'll look for it when i get the new gaskets tomorow.
