Got my R5 running well and reliably but need to do some gasket replacement work - particularly the exhaust manifold and the heater where it bolts to the intake manifold. Got some serious exhaust leaks particularly around the base of the heater.

I can make my own gaskets but thought I would ask if there is a source for gasket kits for an R5 - does Cat still sell these? Don't mind making my own but one less step is always a plus.

Thanks for tip - Olsen made the gaskets I needed - they are on the way! Hopefully can get manifold off without too many busted studs.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
