Anyone interested? reusable numerous times and might be a good option if Mopar stops making the stockers. I honestly have no price right now but sort of need a head count to get a price. If to guess, maybe $25 each!!!

Just post up here.

The stock intake gasket is 2 pieces correct? Would you still be making 2 pieces or 1 piece?

I would make the intake one piece, 2 pieces is a PITA to install stock wise, I put studs in to make it easier on my van.

Copper? Hmmmm..... not the best material for manifold gaskets... or head gaskets for that matter, except maybe in some 'race only' cars.

Why do you say that? All the Rotary's use copper exhaust gaskets and there temps would make us shudder and think ours run in a fridge!

Copper gaskets just are not a great daily driven gasket... Maybe cuz I know more people that have had copper headgasket problems than success?

We are not talking head gaskets, ;)

I also run copper when installing headers, they never leak and never blow out.

Anyhow, it seems as there isn't any interest so I'll just have a few sets made for me. Everybody wants stuff when its not offered, weird. :confused:

OK, let me clarify when copper sucks to use... when sealing coolant, like on head gaskets or intake manifolds. I'm not familiar with the T3 to know if it has coolant running thru it tho?

No coolant on the intake, just metal to metal.

I hope my copper shim doesn't leak on my head gasket, so far, so good, :o

Might be ok then on the intake... as long as the manifold can be clamped enough so it conforms well.

Did you use some of that copper HG sealer sh!t?
