Hey Guys,
Doing my LIM and accidentally removed a part right under the coolent temp sensor - there are three bolts holding it in. Anyway, I can't seem to find this gasket anywhere and don't really even know what it is called.
Can I just use black rtv to make a seal for it?

The only place I recall seeing that gasket is at ZZ performance, it'* called a intake end cap gasket and it'* like $2. RTV might work, but can't say for sure.

Ack, you are correct, wrong year. Use some red RTV, make a nice, but not to big of a bead. Put it in place and draw in the bolts but not tight, leave them a little loose. Let RTV harden. Then torque the bolts to teh correct amount.
