IAB Gasket

[Blank-Disk]

I've recently determined that my IAB is bad, and am going to replace it. I remember when doing the 60k, the gasket was very ratty lookign and I wouldn't be surprised it it's not sealing properly. Can one be bought specific or do i jsut gotta try and size match it to a generic?

The gasket is discontinued from Ford. By chewed up do you mean missing paint or bent up, since the original gasket is metal. If the paint is just missing I would spray it with some engine enamel, let it dry and put it back. Otherwise, IIRC when I bought a new one from AZ I think it came with a new paper gasket. You could also probably create one yourself. One also comes in the intake manifold gasket set from Fel-Pro.
