How to Make a Discontinued Gasket?
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
AJ82340 is the gasket at the bottom end of the EGR Pipe. I was able to get the upper and the one between The EGR & TB.
Before the dealer gave me this great news, I had been wondering about making a gasket. This is the last part I need to get the TB back in the car.
The OEM is something derived from copper. Could I use the old one & torque it a wee bit more?
Or, would it be better to make a new one? What material would you recommend? There is plenty of room to use the old gasket and put a gasket on either side.
Thanks and best,
Steve S.

Hi Steve,
it seems to be out of stock at Jaguar itself, but some dealers might still have some:
https://www.terrysjag.com/product/AJ82340.html
The following dealer unortunately is in Switzerland:
https://rare-jaguar-parts.com/produk...8-s-type-x350/
Unfortunately, I only know how to make paper gaskets.
Best regards,
Thomas

Thanks, Thomas. That 1st link you so kindly provided is no longer affiliated with Jag. As far as making a gasket, can it be that hard? I did a little more research and found there are 2 gasket materials suitable for high-temp manifold scenarios: flexible graphite and high-temp fiber.
Is there any reason not to use the original along with a thin coating of the Permatex high-temp silicone on both sides?

Copper has yielded to the prior use, "work hardens" as a byproduct.
Even if you were to anneal it, it , is NOT an elastomer, ergo cannot "bounce back".

Thanks, Bill!
Anneal, what a beautiful word; I recognized having heard it, but had to look it up. I see biochemists also use it.
Just learned that the good ole USPS has delayed the part I am awaiting until next week. Think I’ll run over to the marina and change the belts on the diesel. This tinkering has gotten into my blood. I think it is keeping elastomeric!
Thanks, best and have a glorious weekend!

Hoping for a GREAT weekend.
Got my one (2005 XJ8-L) back on the road just a few days ago. Now have over 600 miles on the two new Chinese-made front air-struts.
Pleased 'enough' with them that I'll be ordering their mates for the rear pair next week.
'Belt & Braces".. the MaxPeeDingRods coil-overs for all four corners will stay in their box for 'emergency' use - in case an air strut has a catastrophic fail, not just a slow leak.
I find I can change ONE corner in about 30 minutes by using two trolley jacks and a scissors jack in team-concert to control suspension component positioning.
Hopefully, the XJ8-L will behave this month ......so I can make a run at putting the Range Rover back to rights!
