Collector Gasket 3in

The Collector Gasket 3in by Mr. Gasket is a precision-engineered intake manifold gasket designed for high-performance engine builders and restoration specialists who demand reliability under demanding conditions. This component seals the critical junction between the collector and manifold, preventing coolant and exhaust gas leakage that can compromise engine efficiency and longevity. Whether you're assembling a street engine, competition platform, or rebuilding original equipment, the Collector Gasket 3in provides the durability required for vehicles subjected to sustained heat cycles and pressure fluctuations.

Constructed from compressed fiber material, this gasket measures 0.062 inches in thickness and features a three-bolt mounting pattern compatible with standard collector configurations. The compressed fiber composition balances conformability with structural integrity, ensuring a consistent seal across uneven surfaces common in cast iron manifolds and aluminum collectors. At just 0.03 pounds, the minimal weight makes this gasket ideal for precision applications where every component contributes to overall engine performance and thermal management.

Technicians and engine builders benefit most from the Collector Gasket 3in when performing intake manifold assembly, collector upgrades, or engine refreshes on both carbureted and fuel-injected platforms. Installation is straightforward: position the gasket between the collector and manifold, align the three bolt holes, and torque fasteners to manufacturer specification using a cross pattern to ensure uniform pressure distribution. This gasket is a consumable component—replace it during any manifold removal to eliminate leak paths and maintain peak engine sealing performance across thousands of miles.
