Clutch cover gasket

[tderida]

Hi;
Hi; clutch cover gasket I have doubts about the old one during previous maintenance does not change; it's obvious because the lower parts of the cover there are some oil leaks.
The original gasket exceeds my budget and I already think I could cut it  from  some gasket paper? I have an experimental idea about  cut it by my vinyl  plotter 

Has the gasket paper be a special kind?
The tickness of it?

Maybe some of you can help in this regard?

Yep, this stuff:



You can use it to patch up broken gaskets, where pieces are missing or even in place of an entire gasket IF you follow the instructions.

I use it a lot, especially on older vehicles where gaskets are no longer available, waaaaay better than trying to cut gaskets and it is 100% effective.

My own clutch cover has remained oil tight for over 100k using this with a gasket that was broken into several pieces and gone brittle (even though I have several new ones hanging on the wall). 

I have used this on all sorts of engines in place of gaskets entirely and never had a failure, IF you follow the instructions.

If you happen to work in a manufacturing environment. You may be able to find a sheet of Garlock gasket material. Leak-Gard Style 3750 would be the best. More common is their Blue-Gard gasket material. In the Blue-Gard the best would be the 3300.

By the time you buy the gasket paper along the amount of waste that will happen when you cut the pattern, would it not be better to buy a $11.27 oem gasket and call it a day?

It's not that expensive. http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/yamaha/YP-4CR-15461-00-00.html

Thanks Randy. My mistake, I checked your site under "clutch parts" and didn't see the listing...It's under "engine parts".
Approx how much would the shipping be to Turkey? Just curious.

How much does it cost nowadays to ship a clutch cover gasket that costs 28.30 Turkish Lira (9.33 USD), from the US of A to Turkey?

I am not sure and have no way to check it. He will had to put his shipping info into the website and select 1st class mail. But I would venture to say 1st class envelope to be somewhere around $8.00 (that is what it cost to the UK & Australia)

Thanks.

Wow! what a fantastic forum! You all give me  many options. I go with Randy ofcourse no matter the shipping costs.  Just curious what you think about using black silicone gasket? or on which parts of engine  its ok to use?

According to randy, the FJ engine does not need any liquid sealer other than the case halves. All the gaskets/seals do not require any additional sealant when they are in good condition.
