and another question if anyone is here and knows.
I picked up a single Walker donut gasket from a store here Monday (only one I could find) in case I had a chance to work on the Jeep before my ordered parts arrived. Its the right part number, the ring is about 2.1" ID all the way through, 2.75" OD on one side tapering in a smooth curve to about 2.25" OD on the other side, and around 5/8" thick
Today my order arrived, with FelPro 61289 donuts. I confirmed that part number in FelPros catalog. ID is stepped; one side is about 2.05", the other is ~2.15", max OD is the same but its in the center and tapers down to about 2.25" on either side. It is around 1.25" thick.
I lean towards Felpro for quality but I'm hoping the narrow Walker one is right because it'll be a lot easier to get it installed without disassembling or forcing back the converter cross pipe.
If anyone has done this and knows about the gasket difference I'd appreciate hearing. I know the Walker cat was installed with the thinner donuts ~5 years ago (maybe thats why they're blown out? The original converter was replaced due to rust-through on the crossover pipes but the flanges were still tight with the factory donuts).
Thanks
