    you can use the same gasket in both spots. I think there might be a specific gasket with a screen thing that goes between the cooler and the intake, but its not real important. Just get 2 egr valve gaskets and you should be fine. Or just use one and get rid of the cooler. Same difference.

    Ah, with punches it'd be a different story. I was doing mine with a razor blade.

    Ugha hehe, I imagine!. Well, i went to Napa. And they didnt have one either But I got them to order me one it will be in tomarow woohoo.

    Ofc, i got in a 15 min argument that the two he had listed on his compute where actually the same thing sept one had a nice neat little screen to keep the crap from being cloged. and he was saying noooo, there for difrent applications. UGHA.. Demn part's guys. I told him finally though, i said "Look Ill pay you right now to order that 2.00 one.
    And that shut his argument up...

    Im surrounded by idiots!

    Thank's 87cp hehe

    And Thanks Gadget mang for the info Earler .

    If the situation for getting the correct gasket is that bad, really, I'd just get a tube of Ultra Copper sealant and say screw it. Works as good as Ultra Black on normal mating surfaces, and it's very, very unlikely to be harmed by the heat level it'll see at the EGR valve.

    Napa only list the one for Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Mounting Gasket

    No cooler one :-? Can i just use two of these? since there about the same size and do have the same bolt pattern?

    Bit of a rant.

    Ok, so anyways i went to my part's house ( Local ) ( Same place i bought the bloody EGR sensor..) Anyways, he said he didnt have them and would half to order it. Well im still waiting for an oversize plug to come in that he ordered a year ago!.

    I really think ima quit doing all bizness with him, even fuel.

    Anyways, next stop later will be Napa for them gaskets. At least ill know if i order it, it will come the next bloody day!. hehehe.

    Not really to bad of a rant now was it?

    O, and this is what i told him i needed.. Not sure if i worded it right myself..

    "Need a gasket for the egr - valve ( - ='s to the) and from the egr cooler - spacer."

    That is correct isnt it?

    Could try Permatex Ultra Copper. Comes in both a tube and a spray can. I've been using a little bit of that stuff on my copper exhaust gaskets just for good measure, and it seems to hold up great.

    Im just hoping this parts guy is gonna be smart enuff to figure out what im talking about.. he is a bit of a tard some times. and a prick to boot.

    Ima tell him i need the gasket for the egr valve and the cooler and the space. Hopefully he will be able to understand the words coming out of my mouth.

    Thanks again mang

    you only need the gasket between the egr valve and the cooler if thats all that was seperated.

    I know the only thing's which where separated where the water colore thing and the egr thingy hehe ( Looks like a speaker.)

    So that mean i need just the two?

    on the cfi i think there is one between the valve and the cooler thing, and another between the cooler and the spacer under the cfi unit itself. not all cars have the cooler thing.

    Three gaskets total on the EGR spacer, I think - one on the EGR valve flange, one on the intake manifold side, and one on the carb/throttle body side.
