Kylecivicsi Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I need to get ahold of some gaskets, asap. I'm new to the area, so I don't really know what all shops are around that might carry these in stock. I'm looking for the following: 2.5" 4 bolt downpipe (garrett) 3" 3 bolt standard exhaust gasket t3/t04 oil drain gasket 38mm 2 bolt tial wastegate gasket t3 manifold gasket I'm also trying to source a 2nd ring for an 84mm cp piston (I broke one), but I'd say there is a slim chance of finding one of those locally. Thanks in advance everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Jegs is probably going to be your best bet. most performance shops are closed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylecivicsi Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 do you think the jegs stores would carry all of those in stock? I know I can order it from them, but I hate paying their ridiculous s&h fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qtr_pndr Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If they are not in store you can pick up from the warehouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 just use copper RTV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylecivicsi Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 just use copper RTV? I was thinking about this, pros/cons? I know the mating surfaces aren't perfectly flat (I just rebuilt the turbo, and the manifold/head have 175k miles). But I'm apprehensive about using just rtv. I was planning on spraying the gaskets with the aerosol version of the copper rtv. It would certainly get me by until I could order them and have them shipped in though.

On3Performance Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 copper rtv works great, I use it all the time instead of wastegate gaskets or turbo flange gaskets. Generally when I will pull the turbo off, the housing is literally stuck to the flange and will have to be tapped on a few times to free it from the flange. Not sure if Ill be in the shop at all this weekend but if I do stop in, I can possibly help you out with the drain gasket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Columbus Diesel Supply probably has most of that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
