Impervious to most chemicals, this synthetic fiber composite provides a high recovery under load. The new MP-2N Micropore® technology does not use solvents making our gaskets environmentally friendly. Any gasket can create a seal, but a good gasket can do it with less clamping force, and for a longer period of time. Be sure to select the right material for the conditions to get the best long-term performance.The Edelbrock #7265 Intake Gaskets for 302 E-Boss & 351W E-Boss (Clevor) Conversions allow for optimum flow and performance.
Many cast metal intakes have flat flanges, providing the opportunity for a typical die-cut gasket to do the job. In general, gasket materials that are designed to seal fluids tend to perform well in the intake manifold. The CS 830 and CS 920 products can also be considered for intakes. These grades are typically coated with the TechCoat anti-stick coating to allow for slippage due to thermal motion, and also a cleaner release. MTI also offers various solid core grades, such as SB 643, in different thicknesses for various intake manifold applications. It features a performance facing with good fluid and temperature resistance applied to the Corseal core for a mechanical bond. What issues do you have with your intake manifold gaskets? If you are interested in subscribing to Sealed-In’s blog posts, email Tech offers our CS 794 specifically for intake applications. If you have any questions about which materials best meet the above conditions, please don’t hesitate to contact your trusted gasket material supplier. Be sure to select the right material for the conditions to get the best long-term performance. Also, if there is a lot of expansion/contraction due thermal conditions, an anti-stick coating will protect the material allowing it to slip without destruction. Facing materials tend to stick, particularly with heat and fluid exposure. Release or Slip ToleranceĬonsider whether you need an anti-stick coating for easier removal. All gasket materials perform differently, and you can see drastically different results from materials that you might perceive to be similar based on these properties. This can be achieved with composite laminates. Some joints require thicker gaskets to overcome variations in the gap. Conformanceįind a material that best meets the compressibility / recovery / creep-relaxation requirements that you need. (see #4 below) Is your gasket material robust enough to handle the scrubbing? 3. Also, with high temperatures can come expansion and contraction. Temperature CapabilityĬonfirm that the gasket material is designed to survive the temperatures the intake manifold will see (some have coolant ports and some have EGR exhaust ports, requiring better materials). This will make sure the integrity of the material will not be compromised. Is your gasket compatible with the designated fluids? Initially, make sure that the material will not be degraded by contact with the fluids. Below are the considerations you need to be aware of when selecting such materials. As with any seal point, you need to fully understand the environment in order to make a proper gasket material selection. Worse failures can include fluid leakage, where coolant can leak through the gasket either internally into the crankcase, or externally to the ground. A flange that isn’t properly sealed will likely allow additional air into the cylinder, causing poor performance. If your intake manifold gasket isn’t doing its job, you are going to see a poor performing engine all around. Newer versions are now molded polymer construction, allowing more complex designs for improved airflow and also less weight. These are typically cast aluminum pieces with curved runners to each cylinder. For those of you that are new to this, the intake manifold’s purpose is to provide an entry path for the fuel mixture of both air and fuel to enter the engine. Intake manifolds…the gateway to the engine…the place where it all begins.
