Cosworth intake gaskets

[evilscorp]

Anyone with a cosworth intake bought replacement o ring gaskets for the end caps? If so where from?

Finally got round to fitting the intake but thought I would take the end caps off for a look.

unfortunately the cap screws were a bit dodgey and will be getting replaced, also a little bit of metal swarf from the previous owner will need blown out.

You can see the flakes on the gasket.

 

Since I want a good seal for stopping boost leaks (my problem at the moment, 4 large sealing faces with the motordyne plenum spacer that is now worn and been on the car for years), so I want to make sure this intake is leak free, the gaskets on it at the moment are flat so not much use, 

 

I have ordered some 2mm gasket cord and will order some gasket paste to seal the end/join but if anyone knows where i can get the cosworth oem gasket that would be great.

part nos ;RH Plenum cap O-Ring 20001319, LH Plenum cap O-Ring 20001320.

 

Thanks

Garry,

Just get yourself an O ring splicing kit.

The cutting and splicing tool and the jig will provide you with a perfect end cap O ring.

 

This is similar to what I use

Cheers Alex, thought that would be the best way to go, saves a few quid too.
