Fel-Pro 3060 Gasket Material

If you've ever worked on a vintage British car, you know that our friends across the Atlantic hadn't really discovered a way to keep fluids on the inside where they belongs. I'm not sure what they make seals and gaskets out of but the cars tend to mark their territory.I was helping a friend work on his Triumph. It's an unrestored survivor and it's had a lot of "mechanics" work on it over the years. As a result, it's a bit of a hodge-podge of repairs and parts that have been made to fit.Whatever I was doing to this car at the time required a gasket that I could not find anywhere. I forget the details but an earlier part had been made to fit and I couldn't find an off-the-shelf gasket that would seal it. I'm sure it's out there, but I couldn't find the right combination of keywords and model years to find it. In the interest of keeping another old car on the road, I ordered this kit and made my own gasket.I cut the gasket out of a sheet of cork material with a pair of scissors, then used hole punches and a utility knife to add screw holes and internal passages. It only took a few minutes and when I was done I had a gasket that didn't leak. It's been 8 years or so and it seems like everything else on the car besides this gasket is seeping.This is the kind of kit you want in your garage when something breaks on a Saturday afternoon and nobody will have a gasket for you until Monday. You now have the option of making your own and getting on with your life instead of fuming for 2 days.

I had a very hard time finding the correct gasket so I wasn't sure what to do so I figured I would try gasket paper, I tried this one and even though I did not need all of them the one or two that I did use did servie it's purpose well, which ever ones were oil and gas resistant held up, as long as you take the time to cut it properly to size I don't think you're going to have any problems, I had no leaking or no issues, I did use some gasket sealant just to be safe along with it but I'm not even sure if I need it, but it held up fine for me , so if you can't find the correct gasket that you need I would say this is your next best step

I've used them on a couple of mowers and a motorcycle and if you can cut out good, these are for you.They helped me on one gasket I desperately needed a gasket for. It was having all the issues from an air leak and I'm not a fan of the liquid gasket stuff. This worked great and I have 3 sets of the kits.

Most people that are trying to fix something can’t find or can’t afford dealer prices for gaskets. These are quality gaskets that will get you out of your jam and back on the road or in the field

I didn't pay close enough attention to the description of this item when I was buying it. I thought I was buying the one that had adhesive on one side. None of these have any adhesive surfaces, and there did not appear to be any internal cording or reinforcements in the material, but it did not try to push out when 150 PSI pressure was applied to the manifold, so I am happy with the end result. I would have given it 5 stars if there was some sort of adhesive to at least one side, and if there were reinforcing cords.
