Does anyone know if they make a lim to engine and lim to uim metal gaskets like the fd?

 

I think I remember someone making copper ones a few months back. Try doing a search in the Rotary Performance section.

I believe that guy is selling just exhaust gaskets, but thanks anyhow.

 

I believe only the FD's have them.

We had to order a bunch of Kouki turbo intake gaskets, and they all came in paper.

A tip to get more life out of the gaskets is to coat them LIGHTLY with some silicone RTV.
This allows you to resuse them, as they don't stick to the aluminum intake manifold flanges as much.
Do NOT overdo the silicone RTV, as this tends to plug up the air bleed passages - don't ask me how I know this.

lim/engine gaskets are metal-- or at least the ones i got from mazdatrix were iirc

 

I already do this, but after 3 months my lim is leaking once again. Finally fixed the coolant leak I didn't even know I had, and I can never afford an occasional gas spray from ******* with stuff. I'm sick of the lim gasket being eaten away by gas/coolant.

 

Hmmmm I have orderd several from them and never recieved a metal one. I will give them a ring monday and see what they say.

On a side note this company got back to me and said they are developing more rx7 gaskets, and not just the fd ones they currently have. They said they should be done next week...

The gasket I have on the LIM to Motor is a Plastic - Metal - Plastic sandwich. Is that weird?

 

I would think if you retigthened it after a good warm drive it would be good. The plastic in theory should melt a little bit BUT... it depends on how much is on there, if its just a thin film then rock on. If its thick, it's gonna get a leak.

 

When I did my LIM I torqued it all down to 19ftlbs and let it sit over night and retorqued. The nuts turned about a 1/4 turn. Did the same to the UIM. Not sure if that would help.
