IIRC, No you have to order the turbo o rings separately.

Alright, thanks.
Do you know if ultra high temp copper gasket maker will work well? I've used it as a "temp" fix for the coolant pipe where the bleeder valve is on my n/a after tearing the gasket....never leaked.

Does anyone know if it gets to be more then ~650* at the oil drain?

Here is what I'm talking abut

I figured that.. Only thing that gives me hope is that the highest flash point of any oil I can find is ~470*F, so would I be wrong in assuming the oil doesn't get any hotter then that coming out?

Only reason I'm looking into this is I have to go back to school by Thursday and I won't have an o-ring by then

also, researching this stuff it seems like people like to coat turbo exhaust gaskets with this stuff (on the exhaust housing) - I assume that gets higher then ~650?

I would say it should work but im not positive just be sure not to go too crazy putting the stuff on and plug the drain

Why not just get the o-ring? Its only a couple of bucks, at most.

I'd love to but I gotta be on the road on the way back to school Thurs.. no time to get one. Already missed a couple of classes (thank god for understanding Profs) I ordered one already and if it leaks in the near future I'll take care of it, but at this point my mom wants the car out of her house and at my house

btw: it cost me $28 - $7.40 for the oring, ~$20 in shipping
