Does anybody know who makes the porsche 369 1100cc 4 bolt/ mount intake manifold to head gasket .. I've bought some well tried to buy some from here in the u.s from vendors that post these 4 mount gaskets from there websites they have the pictures of the 4 mount gaskets but have part # 369.082.641 which are the 3 mount gaskets which they kept sending me ...I explained to them why the mix up on there websites "smc"here in California and couldn't help me after sending me the wrong gaskets twice ...because there vendor doesn't make or sell them to them but they ended up apologizing for there mix up after 3 months of going back and forth after they said they ordered the correct gaskets from Germany but they were wrong gaskets 3 bolt/ mount gaskets .....
I can list the other porsche websites I ordered these from but it's is/ was the samethis as "smc"
I was told the gaskets I'm looking for are part# 369.08.264
The part # for the 3 bolt gaskets are part # 369.082.641 part #s are almost identical..so I can see the mix up ...
Who has the correct 369 1100cc 4 mount gaskets who can make them for me any one in the u.s have them ??????

At least in older german high quality head gasket sets, the 4 bolt manifold gaskets were included. (have some of them)
Normally nobody needs them.
Suggest to ask an 356 engine builder or Stoddard for ex. Should not be that problem. Or have you tried your Porsche dealer directly?
Correct part number for 4 bolt gasket is 369 08 264

369 08 264 1 is 369, 3 bolt
502 08 110
502 08 111

The 502 are newer ones, without given engine type numbers, all listet in spare catalog till 9´59

Sunset porsche has to order them from Germany 4 to 8 weeks ..
Aassales porsche also has to order them from Germany takes 4 to 8 weeks ...
I know order them than ..
Problem I'm having is that I went though this with with Sierra MADRE COLLECTION just kept getting the wrong gaskets .. than to told they can't get me them do to their vendor in gemany don't make them or sell them ...and most likely all these porsche sites deal with the same folks in gemany ... smc let me have the wrong 6 gaskets they sent me and refunded my money ..for their inconvenience...smc said they were gonna take off the 4 mount gasket on their website since they can't get them ...

All these shops say they have them in stock but don't.... I just don't want to be ordering just to be getting the wrong gaskets ...Im just looking for a person who has them in front of them on hand ..

You’re going to compare SMC, a aftermarket supplier with no factory support or training to the genuine Porsche authorized dealership? ok, I guess…
If you don’t want to wait, why don’t you buy some bulk gasket material and make a couple gaskets. Probably take less than an hour.

Problem is I don't have the heads so I can get the specs ....im looking for the gaskets pre made so I can have jeff denham make me some custom vw 36hp heads for a vintage speed project using the 4 bolt ports for my heads manifolds would be custom as well .....I rather have the earlier parts for the project ....

A friend got some for an 1100 engine at a Porsche classic dealer a couple of years ago. They were shown in one of the "Originale" publications from Porsche Classic. Don't recall if they were a stock item or if the were ordered from Germany.
