Some type of non asbestos hi temp material. Cant find the gasket anywhere. I went to O Reilly auto parts and could buy a sheet gasket and cut my own. Any suggestions?

Inducer hub set screw is slipping now. I will try to tighten. This may have been the problem all along why air was not being drawn.

Pressure switch is ok, intake clear, exhaust clear too It is easy to spin the balancer black plastic end by locking up squirrel cage. The set screw is solid. The shaft wobbles alot and is out of balance. I think the inducer bearing is shot. Geez what an ordeal this is. Im just gonna replace the motor

With all the help, I ran it to a close on my own schedule. Didn't miss any work at my day job and the repair wasn't overly costly to complete. Now the after party!!!
