Inlet Manifold Gasket Kit 1530638K
|
|
Kit of two front and two rear Payen Inlet Manifold gaskets. Acknowledged as the best gasket brand for this application.
The function of these gaskets is crucial to keeping coolant where it is meant to be, and for a few pounds, can it be worth it to use cheaper alternatives which may not fit as well.
Notice also the slit along the rear gasket. If the gasket ever starts to fail, then the water is drawn into these slots and then is pushed out via two grooves milled into the head, leading into the Vee.
If these slits are not present, as is the case in some aftermarket gaskets, then when they fail the coolant disappears out of the exhaust leading people to think the head gasket has gone as water level goes down but there is no telltale leak to the Vee.
These gaskets are 0.056" thick (56thou)
If the heads have been skimmed and are not fitted with Extra Thick Head Gaskets there may be some difficulty aligning the bolt holes.
Please keep them in a dry place after openng as they can swell in damp atmospheres.
