DIY solution for egr pipe gasket?

[Donnyten]

Can't find this part anywhere. only came with my engine rebuild kit when i ordered it but i've had to take the pipe off a few times and now the gasket has disintegrated. Amazon/ ebay, honda aint got the part. what can I use as a replacement?

You could probably get away with making your own gasket with gasket material

You mean this gasket, right?

If so, its a pretty universal part for most hondas. They should have it at your local auto parts store for a couple bucks

That one is readily available but im referring to gasket for the pipe that connects comes from the exhaust manifold to the engine

I'd try re-using the old one if it isn't completely destroyed. But yeah, making your own would probably be the best bet.

Assuming this is a fuel injected engine as the carb engine does not have an egr pipe gasket, part # you need is Honda 18721-PJ0-660 or Fel-Pro 72316

Donny, have you been able to find the gasket ? I need one as well. The Fel-pro part number is not for our car. The Honda number is discontinued.

Nope, however i went to a machinist and had the guy carve a really thin aluminum piece sized to the egr pipe, coupled with a piece of gasket maker from the autoparts place. Worked great/ no leaks. Now I have an egr gasket that will last a long time. i could prolly get away with just using the aluminum

Donny, I ended up putting some permatex copper high temp gasket maker to the mating surfaces to seal it up. Works fine.
