Gasket Material

[freezerburn]

Hey guys, I've been lurking around this forum since I bought my pathfinder about 2 months ago and I thought its about time i make some noise.

 

Ok, so I've taken out my cat and fabbed up a replacement pipe complete with flanges that bolts up exactly where the cat used to be.

 

Ok so I need to seal these pipes together better. I don't know if I want to use stock gaskets is there a material I can buy maybe 1/16 inch thick that I could cut and slam in there to make it tight?

 

Btw I made my own flanges so theyre not exactly perfect hence my need for 1/16 inch gaskets lol.

 

 

 

Im also having an intermittent overheating problem it comes and goes away just as quickly but I was kind of concerned. I read just about every thread on ehre about overheating and IM still lost. I can't find this burping bolt ont he back of the block though I haven't looked tooo hard yet. I took it for a looong ride today in all kinds of different situations *(highway, offroad, traffic)* and it stayed solid in the middle of the heat range so im completely baffled. I will post a new thread about this later on.

 

 

SO anyway nice to be a part of this community now and I hope y'all can teach me some things about my pathy.

 

If anybody needs tips on gastank removal and patching I am quite up to snuff on 87 pathfinders lol.

The coolant bleeder should be in the front on top. White plastic screw in a brass adapter spliced into a rubber hose.
