Intake Manifold Gaskets

PROBLEM
The intake manifold gaskets in my vehicles are failing due to exposure to extended-life anti-freeze and high engine operating temperatures.

SOLUTION
Victor Reinz^® intake manifold gaskets are engineered with highly conformable, durable, heat-tolerant materials, and will seal imperfect surface finishes.

Intake manifold gaskets need to weather harsher environments than ever, including exposure to extended-life anti-freeze, also known as OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolants. Victor Reinz intake manifold gaskets are built to stand up to today’s challenges, from engine design to coolant formulations to the “less than ideal” maintenance practices of many vehicle owners.

Intake manifold gasket set coverage includes:

• Upper intake manifold (plenum) gasket sets that contain the components needed to seal the joint between the upper (plenum) and lower manifold sections.
• Lower intake manifold gasket sets that seal the joint(s) between the lower manifold and cylinder head(s).
• Many intake manifold gasket sets that include gaskets and seals for both the upper manifold (plenum) joint(s) and lower manifold joint(s).

Victor Reinz Offers the Right Gasket Materials and Designs.

Intake manifold gaskets are primarily constructed from one of four materials:

• Composite paper (with coatings and/or sealing beads)
  • Cost-effective where suitable
  • Resists torque loss
  • Able to be trimmed to exact dimensions in non-stock performance applications
• Composite paper on Perforated Steel Core (with sealing beads or embossments)
  • Cost-effective for sturdier conventional engines
  • Premium-grade, high-density facing material combined with a perforated steel core resists fuel and coolant exposure.
• Rubber Molded on Plastic Carrier (nylon composite)
  • High-quality, post-cured rubber compounds
  • Leak-resistant intake sealing
  • Resistant to compression set, so the bead does not flatten and lose its seal
• Rubber Molded on Steel Carrier
  • Engineered for extreme operating environments
  • Optimal protection against OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolants and other causes of deterioration
