B18C1 Oil Strainer/Pick-Up Tube Gasket
I have ordered a lot of parts for my build - https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-...ident-3276594/ , and now I have hit that point where I am losing stuff.
I am getting ready to put everything together and thought I would start low by getting the oil pan on. I ordered the little gasket for the oil pick-up tube/strainer, but I cannot find it anywhere!
Very disappointing...
If you were me, would you:

If you were me, would you:
- Re-use old gasket - flip it over maybe
- Ultra Gray - Permatex
- Right Stuff - Permatex
- Call to local dealer in the morning - it is used in a lot of CR-Vs...

I always wondered, is there anything special about the cardboard card these paper gaskets are made from?
Always thought, card stock is pretty easy to come by and I am not sure why you couldn't cut your own gaskets with an exacto knife for things like the oil pick up tube or the intake manifold gasket.

The one place I don't want to screw around is with oil supply though...

Oh agreed, I wouldn't mess with that gasket either.
The one I would be brave enough is the intake manifold. The worst that will happen is a leak forms and the car idle surges telling you that you need to replace the gasket.
I was just hoping someone had some information on the material used, like it's a tyvek type card stock or some other petroleum resistant paper or something.
