Intake GasketMr. Gasket offers the Ultra Seal II intake gasket designed to help eliminate sealing problems in high-performance aluminum/cast-iron cylinder head and manifold combinations. A new, patented process provides a three-part sealing barrier. The primary seal has a formed rubber polymer edge, conforms to flange surface irregularities, and maintains sufficient sealing stress after being compressed. A custom-formed polymer edge creates a second sealing barrier. The third barrier provides additional permeation resistance via a blend of synthetic compounds formed into a 11/416-inch thick base material that will not crack or split under excessive clamp load.
