Gasket Paper... Best Material (In Your Opinion)

[ASR Rider]

Hi Riders, Just worked on the pitty for hours and ours trying to tune the lean out of it and realized that the gasket is rooted and all the unregestered air is making my enguine rev its tits off. I normally make my gaskets out of card (like a cereal box, but not) and it seems to go sweet. What do you guys use for your gaskets ??

-peace ride hard

Hi ASR Rider.
Use real gasket paper,We use it and buy it by the 5m roll, but if you go to an Egine Re-conditioner I am sure they will sell you a small piece for a few dollars.Then you will have enough Gasket material to make a stack of gaskets for you and your mates...
Ps Repco and Motor Traders carry gasket paper as well in different thicknesses .4mm , .8mm , etc.!

Cheers Brian

What Size Would You Recomend For My Intake Manifold To The Head?

get you're self some ultra blue! thats what we use when we seal any motor, just remember you have to re-apply it as it only bonds once and holds. . .

Its a toss up between wheetbix and corn flakes IMO. I have used both and so far no problems. But I have a roll of gasket paper now, its a green color, and it is probably better but not always as easy to find in the shed as a cereal box in the kitchen.

 

[ASR Rider]

quite true cass, and i still havn't been able to get to repco to get some.

 

[cass38a]

My gasket paper is about twice as thick as it was due to dust settling on it.

 

[ASR Rider]
