    Does anybody other than TA Performance sell the 3/16” thick 455 oil pan gasket?

    They are on backorder at TA and I need one ASAP.

    Thanks.

    Just a thought but buy a piece of cork sheet and template the old gasket on it and make your own??

    I thought about that Larry but that would make it 1/4” which is too thick in my opinion.

    I’m hoping someone has a part number or knew who made the 3/16” gasket.

    Why would 1/4" be too thick?

    I’m worried about the rubber seal on the rear main being too thin and not crushing enough to seal on the lip of the pan.

    Thanks Jim! If you had a couple of missed calls from a 214 number yesterday, now you know who and why I was calling!

    We are talking about 1/16" RTV.

    I’m using the stock style TA pan, which I believe it is recommended to use the rubber seal, and not a thick bead of the elastomeric sealer as recommended with other aftermarket pans.

    The Rockauto link is for the Mahle brand, not Victor.

    I believe I can get the Victor gasket here locally at Summit, so I think I’m set.

    If not, try Mike Phillips, he used to sell one. I thought I had one but I must have used it.
