1992 upper intake manifold gasket

I can't find a upper intake manifold gasket for my 1992 Bonneville SE. It will take two to three days for dealer to order. I was wondering if I could use Permatex Orange to do the job? [b]OR I also have a large sheet of Felpro Karropak Gasket Material so that I could use to make a gasket if necessary? This material is 1/32"paper material that I could cover with Permatex Aircraft Grade liquid gasket sealer. Your thoughts appreciated

gasket for uim to lim 1992 bonneville

I think I will go with Permatex Hardening Gasket Maker to seal the uim to the lim and also new O-rings for the water ports. Any input appreciated!!

Don't use hardening. Use a flexible sealant.

UIM 1992 Bonneville

Thanks a bunch!! I have not gotten to putting on the UIM yet. Had the wonderful experience of breaking a bolt on the lower and its taken me longer to get that fixed!!!
