Aftermarket Gaskets
Well i'm diving into replacing all of the vacuum lines on my 93, as well as replacing the LIM gasket (which was still the factory paper one, and was totally blown out on the rear intake port and Exhaust gas was going up the intake from the egr port) with the multilayer steel gastket. Anyways, I wasn't sure when i ordered everything else if i would have to take off the turbos to get the LIM off since i usually dive into a project without doing any research, but then found out i do....no big deal except when i went to price out the turbo gaskets and the downpipe gasket.......holy crap. My local mazda dealer wanted $120 for the downpipe gasket, $88 for the rear turbo gasket and $43 for the front turbo gasket. I looked on mazdatrix and saw that they were quite a bit cheaper through them but it would still be well over $100 for 3 gaskets. I work for a Toyota dealer and i thought toyota parts were expensive but come on. Does anybody know of a cheap place to get gaskets or do people usually just reuse them- they look in good shape. Are there any aftermarket companies that make decent gaskets? Let me know.
