Intake Gasket Set - SBF 1.315 x 2.150

The Intake Gasket Set - SBF 1.315 x 2.150 from MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE is an essential component for small-block Ford engine builders and mechanics performing intake manifold work. Whether you're rebuilding a classic 289, 302, 351W, or any SBF variant, a proper intake gasket seal is non-negotiable for maintaining compression, preventing coolant leaks, and ensuring consistent air-fuel mixture delivery. This gasket set addresses the critical interface between your intake manifold and cylinder head, where thermal cycling and engine vibration demand precision engineering and reliable sealing materials.

MAHLE ORIGINAL gasket sets are manufactured to OEM specifications and utilize advanced composite materials engineered to withstand continuous temperature swings and moderate boost conditions typical of street and mild performance builds. The 1.315 x 2.150 port dimensions match the factory SBF intake runner geometry, ensuring precise alignment and uniform compression across all eight cylinders. Unlike universal or economy gasket sets, MAHLE's controlled material composition resists deformation under load, maintaining an effective seal for the lifetime of your engine without requiring re-torquing or mid-season maintenance.

This gasket set is ideal for anyone performing intake manifold removal, carburetor or fuel-injection swap, or routine head work on small-block Ford engines. Compatibility spans all SBF platforms using the 1.315 x 2.150 port configuration, and proper installation with correct torque sequence—typically 12–15 ft-lbs in a crossing pattern—is essential for longevity. Installation is straightforward: clean all gasket surfaces with a gasket scraper or soft wire brush, apply a light bead of gasket sealant if manufacturer recommends, position the gasket set, and torque manifold bolts to specification. Having this OEM-grade gasket set on hand ensures your intake seal will outlast the build and deliver reliable performance.
