What is AFM material?

AFM is a chemically blown, compounded nitrile synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. It's known for its temperature resistance and ability to maintain strong torque retention without needing sealers or re-torquing.

Do I need to use any sealant with these gaskets?

No, the AFM material used in these gaskets is designed to create a reliable seal on its own. You do not need to apply any additional gasket sealers.

What does the .060 inch thickness mean for my engine?

The .060 inch thickness is a specific measurement for the gasket. It's important for achieving the correct compression ratio and ensuring a proper seal, especially when used with specific aftermarket heads like the Brodix IK 180 or RR 180.

About this part

Product Details

Cometic Gasket is known for making well-built sealing solutions for a wide range of engines. This intake manifold gasket set is specifically made for Chevrolet Gen-1 Small Block V8 engines, particularly those fitted with Brodix IK 180 or RR 180 heads. It's designed to be .060 inches thick, which is important for achieving the correct compression ratio and sealing surface when you're working with specific head combinations.

The material used here is AFM, a chemically blown synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. This construction offers good temperature resistance, holding up well over 250°F, and it maintains strong torque retention. A notable benefit of AFM material is that it doesn't require gasket sealers or re-torquing after installation, making the job simpler. This gasket set fits a broad range of vehicles from 1980 to 1986, including popular models like the Chevrolet C10, Camaro, and GMC C1500.
