crossover to intake manifold gasket

[1997gtRioRed]

Im looking for the gaskets that go between the intake manifold and the aluminum thermostat housing/cross over. cant seem to find them anywhere. 2002 pi intake manifold btw

thanks

Let me check my "display" manifold, if they are still in perfect shape they are yours

Ok bad news, pulled it apart and they look pretty bad. I wouldn't use them on any of my cars to say the least.

This might sound dumb, but I'm new to this OHC stuff, more of an old pushrod guy, anyways... Is it a gasket or a rubber seal like an O-ring? Maybe like an o-ring that is formed to fit in a groove or is it flat? Sorry, like I said I've never messed with a modular till just this week, so I've never come across this

That's pretty much what mine looked like too, since I never intended to put the intake on a running car I didn't clean them when I took it apart and reassembled it after painting, just left them in place

its kind of like an o-ring but its tall....kinda. not really sure how to describe it. heres a pic of a similar gasket

i might be able to just use some RTV or i do have some brand new intake gaskets, as pictured above, from my old taurus that i never used. if they are the same length ll try and make it work. just dont really want to have to take the intake manifold back off if it leaks.

Have you tried a good parts store like Napa or Carquest? Bring in the old ones and they should be able to help

looks like 03/04 DOHC valve cover gaskets.

have you guys done a google search with the part number?
