I have a couple old machines to put together and I am going to need to cut the case gaskets. I am looking for gasket material suggestions.
I use Felpro gasket material. You can get it at automotive stores, but usually get a better deal on-line. They come in flat sheets and rolls.

Great post, I use similar stuff from Napa. I have used that stuff on mufflers, it will work fine, I have never had an issue. but it helps to make sure the muffler is free flowing....I use Felpro gasket material.

You can get different thicknesses depending on where the gasket is going. I don't think this material would work well for an exhaust gasket, but I have used it to cut carb gaskets, and various case gaskets for many of my saws.
Good to know, I just assumed (we know where that gets you...) from the muffler gaskets out now being a different material than the other gaskets that the regular material would not hold up. I guess I can make one up and give it a try and check on it every so often to see how it is holding up.I have used that stuff on mufflers, it will work fine
Awesome, thanks for the tip, I will have to get some of this!For exhaust gaskets I bought Mr gasket brand header gasket material.
This is it, has a felt looking face made from graphite and it’s thicker to seal some minor imperfectionsAwesome, thanks for the tip, I will have to get some of this!
