What material are these Edelbrock exhaust gaskets made from?

These gaskets are made from EnCore HTX-900, a composite material featuring graphite-coated fiber sheets bonded to an expanded steel core. This construction is designed for high heat resistance and a strong seal.

What is the port size of these gaskets?

The port size for these Edelbrock exhaust gaskets is 1.50 inches by 2.10 inches. This size is suitable for many Big Block Ford exhaust manifold and header applications.

What does the 50% recovery rate mean for my installation?

The 50% recovery rate means the gasket can expand slightly if your header bolts lose some torque. This helps maintain a seal even if the clamping force isn't perfectly consistent over time.

Product Details

When you're working on the exhaust system for your 1968-1987 Big Block Ford, like a 429 or 460 engine, making sure you get a solid seal is crucial. These Edelbrock exhaust gaskets are built to handle the heat and pressure that comes with those powerful engines, helping to prevent leaks and keep your exhaust flowing efficiently.

These gaskets are constructed from EnCore HTX-900, a well-built composite material that combines graphite-coated fiber sheets with an expanded steel core. This design offers high heat resistance and maintains its sealing ability even if your header bolts loosen up a bit, thanks to a 50% recovery rate. The port size is 1.50 inches by 2.10 inches, which is a common size for these applications, and they're designed to fit a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the late 60s through the late 80s, including models like the Ford F-250 and Mercury Cougar.
