List,
Just a quick dumb question. Last night I wanted to put my water pump back on
the engine, and noticed that I didn't have the gasket for this (I have 3 of
the pump to housing gaskets, but not one housing to engine block gasket!).
Anyway, I was tempted to use some heavy paper, like construction paper, to
make a gasket, but thought I'd ask you learned ones if that would work or
not. I got to thinking that maybe gasket paper is some type of special
paper, and didn't want to put the parts back on with something that won't
work.
Can I just use some heavy duty paper? Or is gasket paper something special?
If it is, can the paper be bought somewhere so that I can cut it out myself
(I hate to place an order for a $0.75 part and pay $5 shipping!).
Thanks.
Bryan
