Anyone know where I can get some of these by Monday?

High performance engine sealing from Earl's Performance.

Header collector seals: 3 in. diameter, 3-bolt

These Earl's Pressure Masters long term seals combine graphite foil sealing inserts, aluminum retainers, and a temperature resistant silicone elastomer to make ordinary gaskets, seals, and adhesives obsolete. Each seal is framed by the aluminum retainer and can be preloaded for guaranteed positive closure and optimum bolt preload. There is no need for adhesive during installation or reassembly and no need to retorque after assembly. The aluminum retainer gives a metal to metal seal on headers, collectors, or valve covers, and allows the seal inserts to be easily replaced if needed.

Sold in pairs.

My car will be ready Monday, and I can't find any of these things locally. I've tried all of the hot rod and performance shops that I can think of, and even a few muffler shops in the process.

Does anone know of a place in SoCal, preferably the South Bay area (Torrance, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, etc.) of Los Angeles, although I guess I could drive to one of the valleys if I had to.

I only need the inserts, not the complete gasket assembly.

When I bought the first set, I actually bought two packages thinking there was only one per package; I didn't see the "Sold In Pairs" label at the time, The bad thing is, I can't find the second set now; I probably gave them to someone, nice guy that I am, but now that only seems to get me in trouble anymore.

Any help would be appreciated.

Summit has a warehouse in arizona to serve you west coast guys, overnite it if you need to, probably be cheaper then driving all over.

I gotta do a cash thing Craig. You don't wanna know about that part I think.

I hit just about all of the shops in the South Bay, Tom, but none had them, including the Service Center. I checked the CSK web site, but they didn't show Earl's as one of the parts line. I'll go check in person, there's one a couple of miles from me. Thanks.

I just plugged in the Long Beach area code into the Earl's dealers search on the Holley web site.Good luck on your search.

[Tom Bryant]

Did you find them?

 

[Ken]

I had to settle for some Mr. Gasket copper seals.

Man, they get ya comin' and goin'! Ya buy the friggin' re-usable seals to re-use 'em right? Why on earth do they make it so hard to find the replacement inserts!!

 

[bossvette]

Why on earth do they make it so hard to find the replacement inserts!!

So you get tired of looking for the inserts and buy the complete units :L

 

[Ken]

Earl's finally got their act together, as well as the packaging (which I guess was the hold up) and I bought a half-dozen pairs. I'm well-stocked for a while now.

 

[Tom Bryant]

Great. You may have the only replacement seals on earth. You could sell them on Ebay and finance your trip to CruisFest.
