I’m pretty sure I have an extra if you need one.

Update: I purchased the Muffler Installation Kit from Wolfsburg West (May 2021). The kit does not come with the small hole gasket anymore yet, the continue to advertise it on their pictures.
Here is how the conversation went.

Hey guys thank you for your always fast and professional service. I just noticed item 111298009A did not come with the "small hole" gasket. Can you please send me one asap. Thank you kindly, I have included a pic showing exactly what I am referring to.
ww to me:
Hello
Thank you for the email.
Unfortunately HJS does not supply this gasket with the kits any longer. They only provide 2 of the large hole version.
Thank you.
Sean
I asked for a discount on my next purchase and he said the don't do that but I can return the kit for a refund. Well I still need the kit 
By the way the have not updated their pictures. |
been buying for 10 years .... |
Reviving this old thread since I just reinstalled my carbon blocked single port manifold.
This is my first "stock" engine. I wanted to make sure I had the correct gaskets. I stumbled across this thread not knowing there were two different gasket sizes for the heat riser.
Since they seem to be unavailable I decided to fashion a plug made from aluminum flashing.
We will see how it works.

That looks cool. Let us know how it worked out. By the way I searched in Google for those "small hole gaskets" the are available from several vendors. Best of luck!

If the manifold is carbon blocked, it doesn't matter what size hole is in the gasket  |

Just to clarify, the blockage has been resolved. |

I figured. Just messing around.
I think that solution should work as long as the insert gets trapped in there.
Your engine looks really clean. I like it. |
