my father said it was made out of graphite but looks like cardboard and my friend (his names anthony) owns 6 dirt bikes 1 motorcycle 2 chargers and 1 1972 corvette and he works on them all the time.He says i can use the gasket material because its the bottom half of the engine not were most of the heat or pressure will be but my father says no it will blow the gasket ? :ack2: and i do not want to spend 5 to 10 on a gasket that could be made of same material gahhh :huh:
The gasket. I know ebay also has loads of parts for Ody's, so you could also see how much a new one might cost

A mower shop should be able to do it for you. You could also see if there are any YouTube vids showing you how to do it
