Hello,
In my continuing saga to get the 81 civic to a condition my girlfriend
feels comfortable driving it, I've tracked a weird cold idle issue to an air
leak at the bottom of the carb. I've pulled it apart and now I want to make
a new gasket for the bit between the carb riser and the intake manifold, the
old one was plastic and a replacement would cost $50 (yeah, right) so I'm
going to make one myself.
I went to Canadian Tire and got an assortment of gasket paper.. I'm new
at this, there are four pieces:
. black, rubbery
. tan, looks like cardboard
. lighter tan, slightly less stiff than above, also looks like cardboard
. cork
and on the package it says it includes:
. rubberized cork (i know which one this is)
. treated paper
. rubberized cullulose
. rubberized fiber for hi-temp applications
So, my question is, which is which and could someone give me a brief rundown
on what kinds of gasket material are good for what? And especially what would
be best for the bottom of the carb application?
Thanks!
Skye
