Ben's Z Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I have been puzzled putting the last few pieces of my engine. To start off with my oil pickup/strainer to block gasket was not quite lining up properly either when I put it on. The spread between the bolt holes on the gasket wasn't nuts on with the pick up. It wasn't enough to cause me great concern. All other gaskets from this Fel Pro set have been fine, now the water outlet one doesn't look or fit right. I can always get some gasket sheets and cut my own, just weird/annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voong413 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My FelPro didnt come with that gasket either. Think that might actually be for the distrubutor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xnke Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 That's a distributor base gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben's Z Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 Xnke. I don't think so. I have my distributor base gasket in and it fit perfectly. I bought a headset and master gasket set, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xnke Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 That's not a water inlet gasket, for certain. Match it up against a spare distributor base or timing cover and I bet it fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben's Z Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 I went out and took of my distributor. I know I have the gasket correct there. In fact i have two distributor gaskets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam280Z Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Which felpro set are you using? Does it include a water outlet gasket in the parts list? CS21157 doesn't. It does contain multiple variants of some gaskets that were slightly different for different years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh817 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Mine was the same. I've had some sets that didn't come with one side of the front cover as well...Get some gasket making material from the store or if you're lazy you can use some thick stock paper/folders. You can trace and cut out the shape or use a small ball hammer, place the paper on the surface, tap around the edges and it will tap out.
