got a problem at idle

[Martiny]

Eek ! If you have a head gasket, you\'ve got the wrong engine in that car!!  :-)

Its called Intake Manifold Gasket, or Lower Intake Manifold Gasket, hence LIM Gasket.

Yep I stand corrected:D ..LIM gasket is metal.

elnr, what year is your rx7? as mines going in for the same gasket but i\'ve only heard of the paper ones blowing!
mines a 95(m) so i\'m not sure if mines paper of metal!
i\'d hate to get stung for new gaskets if its only a fuel line split!
if mine are paper i\'d like them to be changed to metal n e way to save future hassle!
cheers:)

I think the metal gaskets were only on 96+ or 98+ motors?

Ant and I (both early 96 cars) both had paper gaskets for sure - which tend to get blown to pieces when u up the boost

[tomrex]

thanks!
so if mines being replaced, would they naturally put in a metal gasket?

You mentioned you tacho jumping with no change to actual revs - mine does this too - mainly when cold.  It\'s a contact issue and is usually just the actual tacho and nothing that will effect the ECU.

Worth getting checked out as it may be indicative of another problem.
