1G Forrester Intake Mani

[mrtalon40]

I bought a Forrerster intake and it was in 2 pieces. I was wondering where would I find the gasket for the middle of the intake I can't find any info on this thanks in advance.

What type of gasket is it? Can't you just buy a roll of the treated fiber and cut the shape with a razor?

Use something like Permatex (or whatever brand you prefer) if an extra strength seal is needed.

Honestly, some black RTV will do the job.

Yup, RTV and torque in sequence. Had one in the past and it leaked like no other without it.

Mine was brand new never ran, but it came together. It appears to have some sort of paper/fiber gasket, which I'm leaving in. However, I didn't get any hardware with mine, so I had to fabricate my own. Some pics in my build thread at this post:

PS, don't forget an intake manifold gasket on BOTH sides of the heat spacer.
