SBC SB2 Intake Gasket .060in Thick

The FEL-PRO SBC SB2 Intake Gasket .060in Thick (Part Number 1382-3) is a composite intake manifold gasket engineered for Chevrolet small-block applications. This gasket delivers reliable sealing at the intake manifold-to-head interface, where combustion pressures and thermal cycling demand precision fitment and material integrity. At 0.060 inches thick with rectangular port geometry (1.52 x 2.07 inches), this gasket maintains proper port alignment and compression while accommodating the thermal expansion cycles inherent to internal combustion engine operation.

FEL-PRO has engineered this gasket from composite material specifically formulated to resist fuel additives, oil degradation, and coolant permeation—critical factors in preventing head gasket failure and intake manifold leakage. The 0.060-inch thickness provides the correct compression range for Chevy small-block cylinder head torque specifications, ensuring the gasket seats properly without over-compression that would degrade sealing surfaces. The pair configuration addresses both manifold mounting points on dual-plane or single-plane intake manifolds commonly found in carbureted and early fuel-injected applications.

This gasket is essential for engine builders, restoration shops, and small-block rebuilds where original equipment specification adherence prevents vacuum leaks, coolant bypass, and manifold gasket blowout. Whether servicing a stock rebuild or a mild performance upgrade, maintaining correct gasket thickness ensures proper air-fuel metering and prevents the intake manifold from shifting under load. Supplied as a pair to cover both ports on a single manifold installation, this FEL-PRO gasket meets OE dimensional requirements for 1382-3 specification Chevy small-block engines.
