What is AFM material?

AFM is a chemically blown, compounded nitrile synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. It's chosen for its temperature resistance over 250°F and its ability to maintain strong torque retention while offering 85 percent recovery.

Do I need to use gasket sealer with these intake manifold gaskets?

No, the AFM material used in these gaskets is designed to create a solid seal on its own. It does not require any additional gasket sealers or re-torquing after installation.

What does the .080 inch thickness mean for my engine?

The .080 inch thickness is a specific measurement for the gasket's compressed height. This dimension is important for ensuring the correct intake manifold sealing and alignment within the engine's geometry.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford FE V8 engine, getting a good seal on the intake manifold is crucial for performance and preventing vacuum leaks. This intake manifold gasket set from Cometic is built to handle the job. It's designed with an AFM material, which is a chemically blown synthetic rubber bonded to an aluminum core. This construction offers good temperature resistance, over 250°F, and maintains strong torque retention.

The AFM material is known for its 85 percent recovery rate, meaning it compresses well to create a tight seal and doesn't require any gasket sealers or re-torquing after installation. This makes the installation process smoother. The gaskets have a port size of 1.408 inches by 2.345 inches, suitable for rectangle port applications on many Ford FE V8 engines from the late 60s and early 70s, like those found in the Ford Fairlane, Mustang, and Torino.
