Oh man! Those cuts of gaskets are awesome! As long as you have a steady hand and a razor blade, you can use that stuff. On my 60-1, It was 3AM and didn't have a gasket for coolant inlets to my turbo so I had a square cut gasket piece, cut it to shape, used a paper hole puncher to make the circles where the coolant flew through, and I've never had any problems with it since. There are several other places that I've used that gasket stuff before...works some wonders as long as you do it right.

And as Jon said, Napa has them as basically OEM Japan made gaskets.
^^Do that. :icon_razz

lol...I tried to do that with my turbo oil lines...just a word of warning, don't use any FIPG...:nono:...within two weeks my Turbo was dead...what a noob.
