Timing Cover Gasket

[F4TJ0N]

Where can I find a timing cover gasket. When I took mine off, there seemed to be a rubber gasket that was really brittle. I've been to Kragen and Autozone and they dont have it, they can only pull up the Cam/Crank seals. I just need the cover gasket. Would this be a dealer part?

I know what seal you're speaking of... and I've not seen any replacements myself either. Luckily its not really sealing anything like with a timing chain setup. Its really just there to keep junk out that might damage the timing belt and such.

If I happen to see any around though I'll definitely let you know as I'd be interested in replacing mine just as a looks sort of thing.

Silicone it. There's no such thing as a timing cover gasket for VG series V6's AFAIK. The rubber that's cast onto the covers is basically only there to keep water/dirt out while driving. You could run it without covers if you really wanted to, but breaking a timing belt is generally not a good thing on an interference engine.
