Fel-Pro3157 Gasket Making Material

i had this material stored for a long time but i finally made up 3 medium sized gaskets and they worked fine....the material was easy to work with a good pair of scissors and did not tend to collapse or kink up.....the gaskets were seated with silicone sealer

Thicker than the autoparts store stuff. Made a gasket for where the air filter housing bolts to the carb intake on a Generac NP52G RV generator. Also made a gasket for the thermostat housing on a 1990 Ford 460 EFI. Holding up well have a couple hundred mile drive. Trace out the old gasket, then cut. No problem if you are good with a sharp pair of scissors and razor knife. The delivery was slow but worth the wait for the quality and price.

Fuels, oils or not, this sheet can be cut into a gasket. It is large enough to make several gaskets.I do recommend it. Use it now or have it on hand.

Works for what I needed

I’m working on a vintage Ford pick up truck and it’s sometimes challenging to find gaskets. This material is great because I can make my own gaskets anytime I need them. The gasket material is the correct thickness, easy to cut and my repairs were wrapped up quickly without any leaks. Highly recommended. Even if you don’t need it right now, you might as well buy some because you’re gonna eventually need it when working on a vintage car or truck.

I was installing an old pump on my air compressor's tank so I figured I would open it up and clean up the bore and inspect piston\rings. To my surprise the "head" gasket set was over $50 (two gaskets). This fit the bill perfectly. It did take a bit of time to trace the outline of the head and valve plate (the old gasket was destroyed upon removal) but I am very happy with how it turned out. I saved over $40, have extra material left over for more gaskets and the pump works great.I used a very sharp blade as well as some good scissors. I had better results with the scissors. For the bolt holes I tried a drill bit but caused too much fraying. Then I tried a standard single hole punch and it worked much better. This definitely beats waiting a week for a gasket that can cost as much as $25\pop.

Gasket material is easy to cut and match original, worn out gaskets for small my small engines...a sharp knife is required. This particular material is much stiffer and maybe a little thicker than that sold in stores. A good price. I recommend.

Used as a gasket in the oil pan of my air compressor. Oil did not leak. But it should be taken into account that in my air compressor, there is no pressure in the oil pan.
