99 swift 1.3 gls dizzy gasket

After i had my radiator pierced by a stone flying at lightspeed and didnt realise until i stopped after 40 odd miles, the engine was obviously slightly hotter than normal. Luckily the head gasket is holding up but looks like the dizzy gasket has met its match.

Anyone know who/where to get one? cheers

any car parts shop or suzuki

Went to a local general car part shop, they recomended making one out of gasket paper. The dizzy itself is slgihtly warped from the heat so would it be possible to make 2 gaskets and put them on together to thicken it up? the current gasket is paper anyway

yea are we talking distributer ? i dident even know it had a gasket use a bit of silocone and a bit of paper

no point in using a gasket if u going use silicone, just use the silicone without gasket if thats what u want to do. else the silicone has to seal two faces rather than 1 if u didnt use the gasket.

yea but he has a gap to fill the gasket will help with the gauge

guy in the shop said the same thing until he had a look under the bonnet, said it would be a lot less hassle to spend £1 on a piece of gasket paper instead of going to a suzuki dealer. hes never let me down so i took his advice and went with the paper
