s4 NA LIM gaskets? $37??
Hi all, search seems to be broken. It doesnt go anywhere when I search LIM gasket. Anyways, I heard there were some people around here that made these gaskets?
Mazda wants $37 for the stupid thing. Im putting all my s4 t2 stuff on my s4 motor and need a new gasket before I can finish the project.
Thanks.

I can sell the lower-to-block, lower-to-middle, middle-to-upper, ACV, and both 6 port gaskets for an s4 Na for $25 shipped, everything you need to overhaul the intake setup (minus fuel system and vacuum hoses). I could add waterpump to housing and housing to block for $10 more. I also have oilpan gaskets, s4 OMP o-rings, and a lit of little misc. bullshit like that if anyone needs.

Mazda has replaced the paper style gasket with a metal gasket, hence the price hike. If you use the old part number (see the parts catalog in the FAQ) you can still order the paper gasket for $10 or so.

You want to paypal me $37?
Aaron, do you think it would be better for the port matching and such to have a paper or the metal gasket? (putting the s4 LIM on a NA motor)

FWIW, I have never seen the metal style s4 NA gasket, only s5. All s4 na gasket kits I've ever gotten had the paper gasket...aftermarket or oem. Also I have never seen or heard of a metal turbo II intake gasket either.
I've used the atkins gaskets for years with no issues. They are the same thickness as the oem, just a different color (yellow instead of blue or pink). The only thing about them is that they do tend to tear upon disassembly which means they are never reuseable...whereas sometimes the oem's stay in one piece and are reuseable.
