[benny f gsi,n it]

hey do vauxhall still stock the gasket between the inlet manifold and throttle body on a 1600 8v e16se engine. or time to get the gasket paper out?
also the gasket between egv valve and the inlet manifold

I expect so. Whats the deal with scissors & gasket paper anyway. I've got to cut a 4 port one for my Mantzel powerbox on a C16XE as Vaux want 29quid!

[benny f gsi,n it]

you can just get sheets of gasket paper and cut it out to what shape you need dont know if you have to pack it up twice to get a decent thickness tho i expect so.

I used hammerite instant gasket for my gearbox end cover a while back, wouldn't that work for an inlet manifold too?

Lightly oil one of the surfaces, then apply the instant gasket to the other :).

Cut one from gasket paper &/or use Hylomar Blue to seal it.

So long as it seals you can use anything. try toothpaste? might work. LOL
