Intake Gasket Set - Ford 302 - .090 Thick

The FEL-PRO Intake Gasket Set for Ford 302 engines delivers OEM-grade sealing reliability for small-block Ford applications. At 0.090 inches thick with composite construction, this pair of rectangular port gaskets maintains a proper seal between the intake manifold and cylinder head, preventing coolant and oil leakage that can compromise engine performance and longevity. The FEL-PRO 1262 R-4 is engineered to exact factory specifications, making it the direct replacement gasket set for Ford 302 rebuild and maintenance work.

The 0.090-inch thickness is critical for achieving the correct compression and sealing pressure without over-compression of the gasket material itself. Composite gasket construction resists thermal cycling, vibration-induced wear, and exposure to coolant and oil—the three primary failure modes in production intake gaskets. The 1.4 x 2.25-inch rectangular port dimensions match Ford 302 small-block geometry precisely, eliminating the need for trimming or shim stacking. Each set contains a pair, providing complete coverage for dual ports on the intake-to-head interface.

Technicians restoring, rebuilding, or performing routine maintenance on Ford 302 engines rely on this gasket set to ensure leak-free assembly. Whether rebuilding for street duty, vintage truck restoration, or performance validation, proper gasket selection is non-negotiable—leaking intake gaskets reduce cooling efficiency, contaminate oil, and trigger warning lights on modern engine diagnostics. The FEL-PRO brand holds established credibility in OEM gasket manufacturing, making this set a trusted choice for shops and serious enthusiasts who cannot afford gasket failure in a freshly rebuilt engine.
