What is the AFM material used in these gaskets?

AFM is a chemically blown, compounded nitrile synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. It's designed for good temperature resistance and maintains strong torque retention.

Do I need to use any sealant with these intake manifold gaskets?

No, the AFM material has 85 percent recovery and strong torque retention, meaning these gaskets do not require gasket sealers or re-torquing after installation.

What are the port dimensions and thickness of these gaskets?

These gaskets have ports measuring 1.350 inches by 2.250 inches and a thickness of .188 inches, suitable for specific Gen 1 Small Block V8 applications with 18-degree heads.
