SomeNew Name Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 now I have cleaned the S$#@ outta my throttle body, and all the idle passages, but the gasket crubmled as I removed the TB from the truck.. now I have some gasket red here that I can make a sillicone gasket.. but I'm afraid of plugging up the passages.... do you think it's better for me to wait the 4 days to get the appropraite gasket.. or could i get away with using the gasket maker if I was a ninja with it?
jeepthing07 Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 I wouldent use RTV on it. Removing it and cleaning it next time will make it a b*@$£. You will end up with chunks of old rtv falling into the intake.
cromanyak Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 What kind of gasket material does it take. You can buy a roll of gasket material from AutoZone or any auto parts store and make your own.
Geonovast Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 You have to wait 4 days for a gasket? I picked one up at CarQuest, they had about 9 billion in stock and it was like 8 or 9 bucks.
FxRacing282 Posted September 4, 2007 Posted September 4, 2007 yeah id get gasket material and some shellac compound and trace then cut your own gasket. you can use it on anything and its just as good. plus its one more reason to be in the garage.
