mrroot Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Looking for a throttle body gasket for a 1986 XT Turbo 2wd. EA82T MPFI. Where can you find one? I've tried partsamerica ( advanced auto parts ), autozone, oreillys, napa as well as just google searching and I haven't found a thing.. Is this a dealer-only gasket!? Can you successfully make your own? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say they don't work for ************, others say they're fine if you take the time to cut them out properly. I'd say that miles speak louder than words.

subyrally Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 i actually work for advance auto. ive tried to find that gasket, and there isnt a listing that ive seen. just get the rubberized felt gasket material. you might want to try making a layered gasket, cut out a few single layered gaskets using the material and bond them together with some permatex ultrablack rtv. but you should be fine with just a regular gasket made from that stuff.

mrroot Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Hrmm... Yeah, I'm noticing that no one stocks that particular gasket.. I might pick up one of those gasket-making kits tomorrow and/or call a dealer later this week.. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I just might have one in my gasket stash. PM me if you are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
