Gascolator and Exhaust Manifold Gaskets

Anyone have a stock number on the Gascolator gaskets?

 

I also needed to get some exhaust flange gaskets but do not have a illustrated parts catalog for the engine. Continental TSIO-360-LB1  

 

Any help is always greatly appreciated.

This is what pops up when you do a search on Aircraft Spruce for exhaust gaskets, Continental:

Gasket, gascolator turns this up:

Or, you can order from the manufacturer....

Thanks... Did that first and both didn't look like the ones i have changed in the past, so, i thought they were too generic and wouldn't work.

 

I am trying not to take the belly off to get a picture and model number of the gascolator...  And that exhaust gasket should be the same for all the TSIO-360, but the RAPCO just didn't look right due to the compression ring.

 

I will keep digging...

 

Thanks!

Cheap exhaust gaskets are $1each.  The best ones are around $10.  It depends on how much you enjoy changing them.

I use the so-called blow proof gaskets on my Lycoming.  I see they make them for Continentals too.

Well worth the extra money in my opinion.

The exhaust gasket is a TCM 630365 or Superior SA630365. Spruce now stocks the complete line of Superior parts and will have them - you'll need two per cylinder. The blow proof ones look intriguing but I don't know if they are interchangeable.
Your Gascolator gaskets will depend on which one you have as Mooney used a few. Mine uses an Airight. Suggest you call LASAR or SWATA being closer to you and they will be able to send you a set or tell you what to get.

 

FYI, My AiRight uses 2 0-rings, the larger one is a fluorocarbon M83248/1-137 and the smaller one is a MS29512-5. To my knowledge, they're not available from Spruce but from many other outlets - just google the part #'s.
