2006 GT Water Crossover Gasket fitting Kit

[saleen836]

(Appologies if I have the wrong name for the part in the title)

On my 06 Saleen I need to remove the water crossover pipe to access the filler bolt for the supercharger to drain/refil the oil, I have been told the gasket fitting kit for this is discontinued by Ford but have ordered this kit from Suumit Racing... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/MAH-GS33677

The part is on back order and they have informed me it is expected to ship on 02/08/24, most places I have looked say the same thing 'out of stock' and being in the UK it is very dificult to get hold of parts, if after the expected shipping date they inform me they can't get the part, anyone know of anywhere that is likely to have what I need?

2/8/24 has come and gone. Your link says August 12 2024 is the expected ship date. I wouldn't take it apart until you have the parts to reassemble it.

Sorry, I forgot you put the date the other way round to us (we put D/M/Y here in the UK) the expected shipping date is 02 August as the link says

Even with it being Aug 2nd. Verify the correct part before taking apart

Will be getting some decent gasket sealant as well, am hoping to re-use the exisitng gaskets but if the parts don't fit once it is apart a good sealant will be used rather than have the car off the road and stuck in the repair shop for weeks/months while I try to get hold of a fitting kit

You don't need sealant with the Crossover for the Saleen. The rubber or neoprene gaskets fit into a grove and extrude out a bit to seal to engine block. At least that's how mine fit when I installed the Saleen VI super charger. This is the crossover I had to replace with the one for the Saleen, but the gaskets are the same on the Saleen Crossover.

I do need sealant, as I mentioned earlier in this thread if the existing gaskets are damaged through age and/or I can't get new gaskets I will use a good sealant

Always an option.

As mentioned, the seals don't usually need to be replaced, unless they are bad or damaged. The round seal is the same across all year models from 2005-2010. The other odd-shape size, there are 2 styles that are made: the one shown in the pic, and another style where another piece of the seal goes across at the top of the hole, which that crossover doesn't have a place for. When I encounter such a crossover, I just get the 2007-2010 seal and cut out the middle part, carefully of course. Never had an issue.

And here in the U.S., using other good-quality brands are good options, such as felpro if you can't get motorcraft.

Buy some gasket paper from REINTZ... these gasket are easy to make. .. some Reinzosil on both sides of the gasket...and it will never leak. never ever.
