Good morning,

I was wondering if anyone knows were one could source a gasket for oil thermostat lid? Mine is currently leaking and I'd like to replace it.

Burger Motorsports sells the lid , however they do not supply the gasket.

A few images to help illustrate the aforementioned gasket (courtesy of FCP and BMS):



Thank you.

I couldn’t find the gasket anywhere. I tried RTV but it still weeped a litttle.

I ended up buying an aftermarket lid that came with a new gasket and it’s leak free 3 months later.

Do you recall if the gasket profile was round or square?

I don't see why we couldn't get a simple o-ring and push it in the groove.

Would you still happen to have your old gasket?

Both square. I’ll look and see if I have the old one

Both? There are two?

I think he meant both old and new seals were square.

I did come across this yesterday. Thanks for posting the link.

I don't like that we are being forced to purchase the lid just to get the gasket.

Wow yeah that sucks.

That aftermarket lid doesn't even look good. 45$ USD just to fix the gasket. That sucks a lot if there's no other option.
