Mopar has discontinued the T-3 lotus intake and exhaust manifold gaskets. Currently there are NO more in the country. But don't worry! FWD has contracted with a major gasket company to have these reproduced. The exhaust gasket will be a superior design made from Armorcor. This material provides better compression for sealing and higher temp range capabilities. The intake gasket will also be remade. They will be packaged so that you can buy these individually or as a set and barring any unforeseen circumstances will be in stock at FWD-P on the 23rd of Feb. The good news for you the T-3 guys and everyone else is that as Chrysler discontinues parts and where it makes sense to do so, we will be stepping in to replace them with a better product.

Later,
Cindy

Any chance they can redo the valve cover gaskets???????

If so, maybe a better material so it lasts longer. :nod:

Its great to know there are still companies out there that will do stuff like this as new and used parts for our cars are getting scarse quickly. The recent metal craze last summer cleaned out a lot of turbo-mopars in my area. Great job Cindy!

Cindy,
Wow, nice price! I hate to say this but I paid over three times that for a set of Masi 16V aftermarket gaskets! Buy those gaskets up guys, Cindy is giving you guys a fantastic deal.

yes, his car is the first we installed in our shop, but we have sold several sets already to others. Looks like springtime is the time to get your T-3 up and running for the summer!

Cindy, is the TIII idler pulley you have now the OEM Mopar piece or is it totally new/rebuildable like the new TIII timing belt tensioner?

The idler pulleys I have are new from INA (which made them for mopar)
They are not rebuildable. When that supply runs out, we would look into making aftermarket ones that could be rebuildable, but for now there is no need.
Thanks,
Cindy
