Title: exhaust donut gasket
Post by: jpgreen on January 04, 2016, 09:36:55 PM

Can't find a collector gasket or a part number for 88 258. Found 4cyl, concord, none for post 84 eagle. Any ideas anyone?

I agree I don't think the eagle used one.

Not at the manifold to front pipe, but there is a rectangular one at the Cat inlet. Only the intake/exhaust manifold that is conjoined (gone by '82) had a donut and only 1/2 of them. The donut was built into the later cast iron models.

K... cause it doesn't look like there is one there,... and after three parts store idiots I thought I found one,... I really wish I had a better flashlight right now!

If it's not running, put your hand down there!

No gasket. Metal on metal seal.

If you require one for the manifold to front pipe, I have a Victor Reinz donut around somewhere in the box I'll probably never use.  I would have bought it for an 82 SX/4.
