Gasket suppliers?

[sparkwizard]

My local small engine shop closed recently. I have been walking in there and buying gaskets, tires belts and blades for 40 years. they always had used engines, too. Recently I have been getting my belts from Auto Zone, tires from Amazon and used engines from Ebay or the local "metal recycling yard".
I now need a source for gaskets. Where do you folks get your gaskets from? Do you stock up on the ones you use? Flat head gaskets are getting hard to find.

I stock up.
When I place an order, I got look thur my gaskets 1st.

There's nothing worse then a $1 gasket stopping a complete build.

I waited a week for a sidecover gasket from Amazon and it was wrong.

I stay away from the clone side cover gaskets 20 for $5, or whatever they are, they total garbage.

Sorry to hear about your local shop. You can try online stores like RockAuto or Gasket King for gaskets. Some people stock up on gaskets they use often, especially if they're hard to find. Good luck!

Ebay has been pretty good for finding old stuff.

There's a guy on the board here - Eric - that makes them for the karting / minibike community.

Do a search for CarPlayLB.

For the procurement of gaskets, it is recommended to explore internet retailers such as RockAuto or Gasket King. Certain individuals engage in the practice of accumulating a supply of frequently utilized gaskets, particularly those that are challenging to procure.
