Uim,Lim.Gasket question.
Ok i kinda tore up my gasket on my lim and uim when i ported them.When i put them back on i used rvt gasket sealer.I didnt have anything else.So my idle has been very bad since then .Idles steady then when i apply gas it surges bad.So my question is can i get just the lim and uim gasket somewhere? Like at a dealership?Also is it possible to get a good seal using rvt?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes you can get all gaskets at the dealership, or mazdatrix.com
I use RTV every time, hardly ever use gaskets except on the LIM to block connection and I never have leaks. You just got to use enough and let it adhere properly is all. I've ever used Ultra Copper in conjunction with a gasket for my header and it solved an exhaust leak problem.

What kind of RTV did you use? The blue **** is horrible. I prefer the grey... the black isnt that bad, but I just prefer the gray, seems to harden into a better texture.
I picked up a full gasket set (exaust manifold, exaust flange, LIM to block, UIM to LIM, Plenum to UIM gaskets, as well as BAC, ACV, EGR, and something else, cant remember for like 60 bucks.... Better to do it right though, ya know.

RTV is my best friend when working on the car
