Air compressor gasket source

Kobalt 30 Gallon oil lube air compressor leaking oil
It's a Campbell Hausfeld compressor part number XC002200IP. The Kobalt part number for the gasket kit is XC000200AV. It looks like the CH part number is 2ST.

I found the gasket kit at mastertoolrepair.com for about $47, but then $16 shipping on top of that.
Ereplacement parts pricing is slightly lower, and shipping is lower, but it will be 3-4 weeks before I have it.

Looking for other sources, either local to the Richmond, VA area where I can pick up or at least shipping fees would be lower.

Anyone got a favorite?

If it's on the bottom of the cylinder or really anywhere other then the valve plate/head gasket then just get some felpro karropak and a razor blade. Should be easy to source locally, likely 1/16" would work.

For the around the valves a high temp gasket works better, Garlock 3000 or equivalent

I’m with Jswain above.

Unless a gasket is some exotic thing, or has metal reinforcing, I just tend to buy gasket paper and cut out my own.

I’m in the U.K. and one common brand is ”Flexoid” (available in many thicknesses), but there are others.

I cut it with a pair of (surplus) surgical scissors, and use a hole punch for any round cutouts (on a sheet of lead). The results look perfectly good.
