jmcardamone Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Ok. I yanked the TBI off my 87 Cuz I have Made a buddy of mine a Pathfiner Convert today and he wants my 87. Everything is ok, but the gasket on the Spacer Betwen The TBI and the Manifold (not the spacer, Just the Gasket) ripped on the Manifold Side. Can i use a Silicone gasket Sealer and form a gasket, or do i need to purchase the Dang Gasket... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatterHorn Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 you can ... just make sure that you use a silicon that is impervious to solvents, oils, and gasoline ... I believe that the orange/red stuff will do the trick as it is also a high temp type ... just be sure that you let the bead of silicon you use gets a little tacky first, and you will be sure to have a good seal ...

88pathoffroad Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Get a roll of generic gasket material and cut your own out using an X-acto knife and scissors. That's what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 I agree with 88. Make your own gasket but I'd also give it a thin coat of high temp RTV to take care of any imperfections in the surface that may exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Yeah, the generic sheets of gasket material are a real savior. Cheap and they can solve all kinds of problems of hard-to-find gaskets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
