Intake gaskets
 
1 Attachment(s)
Wondering what guys are using that holds up really well for over sized intake gaskets?
Gasket I used are 1.20x2.40 on Edelbrock heads. I had a set of these gaskets split and cover the ports some. Thanks

My High ports were ported to that size but using those gaskets the bolt holes I had to redo to line up. Not on a motor yet.

SCE I think only has up to 2.350 tall.

Ill check them out. Thanks Skip

Tin Indian has a new performance gasket, vs the old school paper gaskets I previously purchased. Installed a set on my 325cfm heads- but only been a few weeks now. Material seems good to the eye.

Fel Pro 1233

The FelPro 1233 is only about 2.200" tall.

Unless changed the Tin Indian gaskets are a knock off of the SCE gaskets.

Butler lists a 2.240" tall gasket:

Intake gaskets have went to poop. Used to use SCE gaskets and could go two seasons testing manifolds more than a dozen times on the same pair of gaskets. Nowadays they don't seem to be oil, anti-freeze or crack resistant. If you're lucky a new set won't tear pulling the manifold off a never fired before engine. We've been using custom made Cometic manifold gaskets and so far no issues. We've only been using them for a couple of years so not a ton of feedback...... However all the gasket manufacturers got the memo to increase prices.

SCE can also make a .120 thick also. I have an intake that someone milled 0.060 too much just on one side! So different gaskets.

PAUL K 10-09-2023 06:01 PM

We try to keep .030/.060/.090 and .120 thick in stock for that reason. It also helps to align the ports.

intake gasket
 
I had Flatout gaskets make me a custom set for my WP Eheads. I think it's .060 but it is a steel coated gasket. They went up in pricing as I bought a spare set. This reminds me of Felpro but fits a WP heads.

Any part numbers for the Cometic .060 set. Thanks

Best bet would be to call them with your port dimensions and hopefully they have a match.

Are those doubled up or just single to do that? I used to have to run double, but ended up having a local guy make me some aluminum copies of the gasket and glued them to the intake. These are a 380 Highport gasket

Mine was just the single gasket .060 on each side. Not sure why it did that. I don't use any sealer on the gaskets. Did not have any vacuum leaks. Almost looks like an install issue on my part. I always trim the gaskets to get a perfect fit. I install a new set, we'll see how they last. But looking for a stronger gasket. Thanks for all who posted info.

I have good luck with the Butler gaskets. The ones from Tin Indian I had issues with them coming apart.

AG 10-13-2023 11:15 PM

I had to use one 0.060" and one 0.120" gasket from Butler with my Victor/Dominator to get good port alignment. They only needed a small amount of trimming to fit well.

So I sent an email out to them and the new number is 1.20 x 2.40 Pontiac intake manifold gasket .060 thick D7900 That's the good part. Shipping came up as $230 U.S. I'll have to call em. Thanks
