Construction & Design

This intake manifold end seals kit utilizes advanced AFM material technology, combining chemically blown nitrile synthetic rubber with a durable aluminum core. The nitrile rubber compound provides excellent resistance to heat, oil, and chemical exposure, while the aluminum core ensures consistent sealing pressure and structural integrity under thermal cycling and mechanical stress.

The fiber gasket design creates a uniform, tight seal along the intake manifold ends, effectively preventing vacuum leaks that can compromise engine performance. This composite construction balances flexibility and durability, delivering a reliable seal that withstands the demanding conditions of Chrysler Magnum V8 engines.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Cometic Gasket Fiber Intake Manifold End Seals Kit is straightforward and requires no modifications. The kit includes seals for both front and rear crossover ends, providing comprehensive coverage for the intake manifold. Thanks to the high torque retention of the AFM material, gasket sealers are not necessary, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of leaks or the need for follow-up adjustments.
