gasket kits for intake manifold

Postby PixelPaul on Fri Mar 19, 2021 1:15 pm

Hi All,
can someone recommend a place in australia to order a gasket kit for a:
2008 Mitsubishi Triton Glx 4DR Cab Chassis Manual Transmission 3.2 Turbo Diesel

I can find a gasket for between the manifold and the engine block:

BUT, i cant find one for the actual manifold when you pull it apart. I think it looks like this ( when opened up ) from memory:

And it would also be good for all the other connections where a gasket is needed when pulling it all off to clean out.

The gasket for the lower inlet manifold is not available. MMAL do not sell them. Just re use your old one.

i have reused it a few times tho, and last time it was looking like it needed replacing.
maybe i will just use gasket paste.

Last thing you want is a air leak, especially on the inlet manifold, sucking huge amounts of vacuum.
If you have your old one get some gasket paper of the same thickness, take your time and cut out another

Paper gasket will not work as the original one is made of metal. A thin spread of FIPG such as THREEBOND may do the job.
