Hello, would anyone know where I could find a rubber oil pan gasket for my 1992 Sunbird SE sedan 2.0 litre, 4 cylinder? I know DNJ makes one but they are no longer in stock and I tried both Rock Auto and Auto Parts Warehouse on-line but both turned out to not have any available anymore.
I can get a cork gasket but I prefer the rubber variety. -Joseph-

rubber oil pan gasket for 1992 Sunbird SE sedan

Thanks for the reply and for taking the time to check into this. NAPA has the rubber gasket for the larger 6 cylinder engine but only a Spectra Premium cork gasket for my 2.0 L, 4 cylinder Sunbird:

I have decided to order a Victor Reinz "tuff cork" gasket which is more durable and will not compress as easily as a pure cork gasket. -Joseph-
 
A search came up with the same results including Ebay, clean up the mating surfaces with brakeclean and just coat it on both sides of the gasket with Permatex Ultra Black RTV and let it sit 24 hours and you should be fine......;)

Thanks for the suggestion Doug. I actually ordered the Victor Reinz Tuff-Cork oil pan gasket and unlike other manufacturers, 2 gaskets are provided (one extra in case there is a windage tray in the oil pan). My Sunbird should have a oil baffle assembly that rests on the oil pan lip so I will likely need to use both gaskets. Also Victor Rienz provides a replacement oil drain bolt washer which in the package which some other gasket manufacturers do not include. Next week I plan to replace the 22 year old original oil pan and gasket(s) with new parts.
