Gasket paper for exhaust manifold flange

Hendrik · Jun 7, 2013

I've made several gaskets for transmission covers, etc. from standard gasket paper sheets.
Now I need to make a gasket for the flange where the exhaust manifold connects to the exhaust pipe. (Gas engine of car, if that makes any difference.) The size of the gasket is roughly 3 by 5 inches.
Thirty years ago we had asbestos sheets for that purpose...
Where could I buy such sheets?

Any and all help appreciated!

I don't think any of the auto parts store gasket material sheets will hold up for that. I would just buy a gasket . I don't think asbestos is sold anymore.Short of sandwiched metal it will blow right out. Dosen't mean someone else won't know a good product just my thinkin' on it.

A good auto parts store should have it. I have gotten it at NAPA in the past.

I"ve checked some old gaskets sets that I have
on hand, and all have an asbestos kinda stuff
for exhaust gaskets.
The stuff listed in the post by "Thebigyellow
truck" looks pretty good. I think that I"ll get
some for stock.

Try napa. I bought a sheet of sandwiched metal material there a few months back. About $10 or so.
