2G 97 Thermostat Housing Gasket Part #

[Yepez12]

Hello, does any one know the part# for the seal on the thermostat housing. I need the seal between housing and engine. Ive been looking for it on diagrams and threads but cant seem to find it. I read that some people just use straight silicone, but im trying to avoid going full silicone if possible. Pictures of housing attached. 97 gsx 7 bolt. Thank you.

The 2G didn’t use a gasket. The service manuals only call for RTV around the highlighted area.

That said, there is an EVO gasket that can be used, part number MD363254, if you want to stay away from RTV.

Or get some gasket material and make one. Even the correct cardboard works just fine.
