Where do you get gaskets for bov, wastegates, downpipe and ----? In the past I've just gone to mitubishi and got eclipse gaskets. but now Ive got badass ---- that doesnt come on factory cars

 

I make my own gaskets...used to use copper sheeting, but it's gettin' a little expensive. Depends on what the gasket is for though...exhaust I love copper, but for little ---- stuff like bov's and wastegates I go to vato-zone and buy a sheet of lead layered gasket material.

 

Where do you get your copper sheeting!? i'm running out and can find it anywhere

 

online metals has it, but I've found that college art stores are a good place for it. They use if for sculpture classes I guess Thats where I got mine.

 

napa autoparts should have it in stock and its like $6 a square foot

 

COPPER GASKET MAKER FTW!!!!!

 

For hot stuff I use Red high temp RTV sealant and make sure the mating surfaces are flat. It works on manifolds, turbos, wastegates. I've never had a problem using this stuff.

For things like wastegates, water fittings and itntake manifolds I use cork gasket material with RTV smeared on really thin on both sides to help bond the gasket to the surface. if you ever decide to take it off later it comes off really easy.
