Default What is this...?
What is the gasket called/made of in the orange circle in the picture below?

I tore it when removing it to change my spark plugs recently, and I think that might be the reason for a ticking noise I've had at idle ever since.

Does anybody know where I can get a replacement?



Thanks,

-Ed

That is the air tube gasket for smog. These are available at any dealer.

That is the air tube.
The gasket that you need is GM# 12553617

Put anti seize on both sides of the gasket & also on the threads of the two bolts that hold it on.
