I am looking for exhaust manifold gaskets and exhaust gaskets for my 1988 Mazda RX7, but I have not been able to find these parts at all here. Can anyone help me?

I hope this isn't the wrong section to put this in.

 

I think you might have wanted to put this in the for sale section under wanted to buy but anyways was that turbo or non turbo? I have a turbo gasket.

 

Non-turbo with a turbo OEM cat back, I can't post there for some reason. I also need these as soon as possible.

 

I could send you my turbo one if they are the same but I am not to sure.

 

SCE Gaskets makes a very nice copper one. Just google them. Pricey but copper seals well and is reusable.

I just got one from them and I am very pleased with the quality and fit.

Would it be possible as a temporary measure to use a gasket maker, like permatex, to seal the system?

 

I would not use sealer to try and replace an exhaust gasket. Too much heat and pressure. They might make one that's specifically for exhaust, but I personally would not trust it as a long term solution.

That being said, you're not really going to have much luck trying to buy used gaskets. Just buy brand new ones from Mazdatrix and Racingbeat. RTV will NOT work.

 

Sorry for some reason I still require someone to authorize the post for some reason, every time I've posted a WTB ad, It would never post, even after my 10 post.

Really dumb question, but have you tried the Mazda dealer? They can usually have parts the next day.

 

I tried the Mazda dealer a few days ago, they didn't have the exhaust manifold or exhaust gaskets. They have to order them, and they said that would take a couple of days, so instead of doing that. I ordered mine from Mazdatrix, getting them from basically the same area, and I think the prices are probably a little more reasonable.

Also I checked basically every auto parts store that I know of, and I got jack.

 

Mazda sell those gasket. And its in stock at Mazda's warehouse right now.

and its cheap.

Just wait a couple of days.
