GASKET SET, INTAKE MANIFOLD, REPLACEMENT

GASKET SET, Intake Manifold, replacement, ** Note: not recommended for use with aluminum intake manifolds, Use 9433-2B ** Intake manifold gaskets have been problematic leak areas for several years now, PermaDryPlus intake manifold gaskets are designed to provide a permanent seal, They have an aluminized steel carrier that resists corrosion and is not susceptible to degradation from exposure to fuels, oils and coolants, Fel-Pro proprietary fluoroelastomer resists all fluids and features multiple sealing beads that provide additional sealing and compensate for rough corroded gasket flange surfaces, To ensure these technologies work in the way they were designed to, these intake manifold gaskets must be installed on a clean, dry surface with no additional sealants used, Using RTV on the gaskets with fluoroelastomer coating or silicone sealing beads causes multiple issues:The sealer can chemically attack the rubber sealing beads and degrade them, RTV can act as a lubricant and cause the rubber gasket to slip out of place and split, creating an opportunity for leaks, Sealants can add thickness which creates uneven clamping force since the gasket will not be able to seat properly, Also, RTV can extrude out when the gasket is compressed, and it could end up in an oil or coolant passage and restrict or block flow, In cases where a sealant is needed for installation of a Fel-Pro gasket, a FIT Form will be included, along with the proper sealant, Only apply the sealant in the manner and locations directed, Intake manifold gasket sets may contain a small tube of RTV, This RTV is not to be used on the gasket face, but rather where the bottom corners of the gasket meet the end seals to fill the gap,
