Olds 455 Intake Gasket

The Olds 455 Intake Gasket by FEL-PRO (MPN 1356) is a critical OEM-replacement component engineered for Oldsmobile V8 engines, specifically the legendary 455 cubic-inch powerplant. This composite intake manifold gasket bridges the cylinder head and intake manifold, creating an essential pressure seal that prevents coolant and fuel mixture leakage. Whether you're restoring a classic Oldsmobile muscle car, servicing fleet vehicles, or maintaining vintage performance engines, this gasket ensures reliable engine operation and prevents costly internal damage from fluid bypass.

Constructed from composite material 0.06 inches thick, this gasket is designed to withstand the thermal cycling and combustion pressures inherent to V8 operation. The rectangular port configuration measures 1.4 x 2.4 inches, precisely matching OEM specifications for the 455 engine family. Composite gaskets offer superior thermal stability compared to traditional cork or paper alternatives, resisting shrinkage and maintaining seal integrity across repeated heat cycles from idle to full-throttle operation. The FEL-PRO engineering ensures proper compression set, dimensional stability, and chemical resistance to coolant and fuel vapors over extended service intervals.

Technicians and engine builders specializing in Oldsmobile V8 restorations rely on this gasket kit for trouble-free intake sealing. Installation requires standard manifold bolt torque procedures and surface preparation of both mating surfaces. Compatibility is exclusive to Oldsmobile 455 engines equipped with compatible intake manifold designs; verify your specific engine year and manifold type before ordering. At 0.5 lbs and compact dimensions, this gasket kit ships efficiently and fits easily into any restoration, repair, or maintenance toolkit for classic American V8 preservation.
