GSR Intake manifold gaskets impossible to find!

[5 Liter Eater]

The dealers have a two week back order on them, nationwide backorder that is. Every other place I call doesn't have it and can't get it. Fel Pro doesn't make one for the B18C's.

JRSC is going in on Friday one wayu or another!

I have a set, for the head, middle and TB.
I bought them "just in case"
I'll sell them to you for what I paid for them. Later

This may be a stupid question, but the IM gasket should be replaced when installing the JRSC?

I thought if youre careful they can be removed and put back on many times...or is this just very precautionary?

It's always a good idea to replace the intake manifold gasket. If it leaks, it is a major pain in the butt to fix (especially with the JRSC!).

I always have another one ready when removing a manifold. Of course, the only time the old one tears is when you don't have another one ready. It's Murphy's Law!

Bill, try Mike K at Naples Acura in Florida. (800) 792-2872

Hey. . . if you can get off the intake manifold gasket in one piece, I'd like to know how u did it! It took me 2 hours of chipping with intake manifold gasket remover to finally clean that thing off!

Are you installing that JRSC yourself? I'm just curious.

Yup. Wouldn't have it any other way.

I think I have found one in town from someone on the board. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. If I can't get it local I guess I will have it overnighted from A&H. I almost forgot about them.
