Does anyone know where you can get soft copper exhaust gaskets for a 02 7.3L

Can't you get them resurfaced at a machine shop? I would go that route first. Probably cost less than a set of gaskets.

My dad had that problem with his 01. Took a new manifold and gaskets. Better to go ahead and put on the gaskets than have to tear it down again in a few years to put another set of manifolds on it.

Hey Sundance, if you find those gaskets could you PM me the info. I've got the same problem and gonna have to pull the manifold. I'm probably gonna machine it but still install a gasket if I can get one, thanks and aloha.

They must be out there. The service manual calls for gaskets to be installed anytime the manifolds are removed.
