i wonder if you could use "gasket maker" like for valve covers ?

I would also contact Darrel Diller and make sure he can't get you a gasket.

"As for the MAF sensor gasket, I can only say there isn't one. In
essence, there is not a gasket between the mass air flow meter and the
air box."
Someone in a previous most of mine regarding this matter suggested using that white plumbing tape, which may be the route I'll have to go at this point.

the impression that I got from him was that they never made one, which is strange...others here claim to have one, or atleast transferred the ones from their stock intakes boxes to the aftermarket ones. I unfortunately dont have the stock box, as the people that installed my intake somehow broke the stock one and threw it away ....so Im without the gasket/o-ring.
Mine doesnt stall, but the engine occassionally pings when the MAF sensor gets thrown off because too much air is seeping in.
