Well *usually* if you use some Permatex Form-a-Gasket (brown stuff in a 
small round jar with a brush) you can get away with it. Really though 
patience is a virtue, call the dealer and order one then go pick it up when 
it comes in. Better yet find a close by WorldPac vendor, they can get it to 
you same day (WorldPac delivers to me 4 times a day).
