Hey ive got an evo 7 coming to canada from japan next month and i was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of buying a few parts.

What im mostly curious about are engine seals and gaskets. Can anyone tell me without a doubt if any/all of the gaskets and seals are the same for most/4g63T engines? Im thinking platforms such as DSM and Eclipes etc....

To get very specific
i want to go to my local parts store (in bc canada) and ask them for certain seals over the counter. Some of you know that in canada the ct9a platform was never sold. So asking for the seals from a 2001-2xxx evo will fall on deaf ears here.

some that im looking for.

- front and rear main
- cam seals
- tstat housing seal
- exhaust manifold gaskets
- intake manifold gaskets
- valve seals

You get the idea. I know i can order online from places like lancershop, map, extremepsi, etc etc but the prices are high with usd - cad exchange and if i need something quick, sometimes waiting 1-2 weeks wont cut it.

cheers guys, look forward to your responses.
Brent.

how often do you plan on replacing seals? Order those online in one bulk order

 

I appreciate your opinion and I'm not disagreeing that is probably the best way. However you have not answered my question at all.

 

You don't have a choice since the local stores don't have it. Pay Over-Night shipping if you want it quicker.

 

I am unfamiliar with the platform and i was asking if the parts are interchangeable with any other chassis's so i could go to my local part store and purchase compatible parts.

i have since found and bought the seals i wanted privately.
