lower intake gasket?
quick question to everyone how many times ccan you use the lower intake to engine gasket ? The metal one. damn thing is 25.00 and I dont want to spend it if I dont need too!!!!!!!!!

Haven't we ALL heard this
Well, I don't know. I have been told that you can reuse metal exhaust gaskets. And for a turbo the $25 for that intake gasket is nothing.
As much hell as it is to get to the lower gasket. I am sure $25 is worth your time and effort to do the job right. And the job once.

I called napa, they were like 12 bucks for the LIM gasket and it was gonna take 3 days to order. My question is... I need all 3 gaskets:
1 Where The LIM meets the engine
2 Between LIM and UIM
3 Between UIM and the dynamic chamber.
Anyone know if these come in sets? cause napa only shows that one LIM as the only manifold in the intake system.
I need all 3 because I'm taking the UIM/LIM/ dynamic chamber off a 13b that has been sitting so I can do the db mod and just switch the stock setup right off my rx7 for this one. I want to make sure that the gaskets get replaced because it's been sitting so long.

Bro use that old gasket, it will be fine...
Try put about 1/2 quart into the rotor that has no compression and let it sit for 2 or 3 days, go out once a day and turn the engine over with a rachet and socket, try to listen for 3 pluses or squish noises
