Title: Gaskets
Post by: chrisz29 on December 16, 2011, 02:07:32 AM
Anyone have a lead on gasket sets at a resonable price? Im in need of a tranny gasket but all I can find is the full set from top to bottom for around 460.00

Br tranny gasket do you mean clutch cover gasket? If so, they are readily available. I recently bought one, and made one, using "form-a-gasket"in a tube.

Not sure about availability as individual gasket, but, if they are somewhere on the planet, expect some one to chip in with details. Other option is to have a crack at making your own. You can trim it up so it looks nice when it's back together.

Hi chrisz29 :hi:

I recently made one.I bought some suitable gasket paper from my local auto shop.Cleaned up and rattle can resprayed the oil pan on top of the gasket paper to get an accurate outline(just a light spray to get the outline and bolt hole spots,then take  pan off the paper to finish painting-I used gloss black caliper paint),used a 6mm hole punch for the bolt holes and cut it out with a good pair of scissors.Job done including paint for $20.Hasn't leaked yet! :good2:
Hope this helps.

Cheers :drinks:

Here is the best lead for the gasket you are looking for, plus anything else you need for your engine. There are also a ton of other FJ specific products located there as well.

In reference to the oil pan gasket you are seeking, have a look here: Oil Pan Gasket (http://www.rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=Engine%3ACOMEC017020)

Randy, you much too serious.... Before you posted you should have changed your website to show the oil pan gasket to be $400.00

That would get Chris fired up.....(hint) He's new.... We would all chime in about seeing a lower price available in the mid $300's somewhere on eBay..

Kinda like a snipe hunt..    (popcorn)
