Steptoe's photos Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 (edited) Having an AUDM EJ202 is not the easiest to shop for in the US market . One item I am looking at is inlet manifold gaskets - to the head. I am sure these changed dimensions at some stage, for capacity changes. Can anyone help ID a US model to select in categories for these going by some (sorry, metric) numbers ? Centre to centre of the outer most studs is ~195 mm, and centre to centre of the middle pair is ~33mm Thanks Edited April 11, 2023 by Steptoe's photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 for those metrically challenged... 195mm = 7.67 inches 33mm = 1.29 inches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 pics of your gasket would help. O. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Phase 2 right? The EJ251 gaskets will work no worries. Plug your VIN into partsouq to grab the part number you’re chasing, then do a search elsewhere using that number if you’re not happy with their prices and postage.

el_freddo Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Just did a parts number check. EJ202 is 14035AA383 EJ251 is 14035AA382 - with the *383 listed as a substitute (which you always need to check it’s legit) You can plug these part number into partsouq to view the pricing and the pic of the item. Postage usually starts at $US17. Item size and weight will see this increase - but even with this I’ve found them to be far cheaper than anything locally in Oz. It’ll be a sad day if this avenue ever gets shut down or subjected to import taxes etc. Cheers Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoe's photos Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 substitute, superceded - all good excuses. I am finding gasket images do not look the same for starters. Eyeing off some silicone baking sheet or maybe thicker on a silicone baking dish .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Smooth cam covers with the spark plug holes in the cam covers right? If so, they’re your gaskets. If the cam covers are ribbed, you’ve got a phase 1 engine and need those ones same as our EJ22 units. Cheers Bennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptoe's photos Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 smooth yep, plugs down through them. Measured an eJ22 from a late 96 Lib and the bolt centres are around 185mm , 10mm shy of target, I like your thinking ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
