Hi all,

Replacing the heat insulator on the bottom of my 1FZF carb. Ordered the insulator and it came with two metal gaskets - top and bottom. My current one had RTV on them which was a right nightmare to remove, but somehow just metal gaskets also feels a little suspicious (so I can understand why the original work was done with RTV, but it wasn’t Toyota work I think).

FSM says just put as is. Should I do as it says or should I make a gasket from some gasket material and sandwich the heat insulator and metal gasket assembly between some more paper gaskets? Any experiences welcome.
