Can't find a oil reg.gasket-help needed!

[jsuthey]

Hi all,I am having no luck in finding a gasket for my oil pressure regulator.Any ideas? What can I use to make one?
Thanks,John

Go to any parts store and ask for a sheet of gasket making material. In a pinch a piece of a file folder, a piece of construction paper, a piece of a cereal box or any thin paper sheet material will work. Apply a THIN coat of silicone to each side, let it set up a bit then bolt it in. IF the mating surfaces are in good shape, Ultra Gray silicone gasket maker will work with no gasket at all.

That's no reason to give up on the mighty F engine!

Thanks for your order.
