Copper Exhaust Mani Gasket?

Hi all,

Just curious if anybody knows where to find a copper exahust mani/header gasket?

I have a '92 with 22RE and keep popping exhaust gaskets (mud/puddle bashing).

I searched and could not locate one for the 22RE (pear shaped ports). Just curious if anybody else had luck finding one.

TIA!

Is the brace from the downpipe to the bellhousing in place? If not, fix that and that will take care of a lot of head-manifold gasket leaks.

I got one from my machine shop. It sucked, and I ended up going with a remflex. Best money ever spent. Even with my turbo manifold that is warped over an 1/8", it's still sealing great.

Remflex? Never heard of it but I will be googling it!

As for the bell housing to header brace, no. I don't have one as I have aftermarket headers on it and couldn't get the brace to work. However, that is a great point. Being as I typically have this issue after beating on the truck pretty hard, it makes sense that everything is flexing too much from not having a brace. I will have my local exhaust shop fab one up for me!

Thanks for the advice fellas!
