300/440/550 Exhaust Gasket in a pinch

[Dan Rudd]

We just picked up the ski from the engine rebuilder yesterday and were heading north in a few hours. As we were re-assembling this morning we find that were missing the exhaust gasket for the "U" shaped exhaust pipe which runs from the manifold to the upper pipe. I contacted the builder and he says he sent it. Bottom line is, we don't have/can't find it.
No shops have the gasket locally, so I'm wondering what I can use to get by.
96 550 w/Coffman half pipe.

Paper gasket material and RTV?
RTV only?
Other suggestions?

Leaving in 4 hours and still have loading to do, so were in a bind.

Thanks,
Dan

Have a pic of where the gasket goes? Sounds like you need the head pipe gasket..
Post a pic if you can.
You could make one out of gasekt material and rtv it up. That should hold for awhile.
If you have a pic, i prolly have that gasket.
