I don,t see any in the parts books. Thanks for all your help , on this and all the answersin the past, mj. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 105 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 105 | Hi MJ,
Yes there is a gasket that goes between the lid and the body of the filter. I have a similar set up on my 51 216. Last time I changed the oil and filter I believe the new filter came with a gasket.
Good luck.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

All you need is the O.D and I.D. and these gaskets are available at most NAPA stores I believe or take the measurements or cover in and have them find the correct one.
