Loose fit but you can get it to work

A few years ago I had another one of these gaskets, probably the same brand, which was also a loose fit. I recently bought another one and this one is no different. Some people, like the other reviewer, wrap something around it as mentioned in RTV. I just wrap the "threads" around this sleeve a couple of times. with sanitary Teflon tape. I used to wrap the "threads" with electrical tape, but it didn't hold up very well to the heat of the motor. Teflon tape handles the heat better. After that…

Pros
  • PCV valves and breathers
Cons
  • Useless features

Not enough for a hole

Literally got stuck in a hole on the manifold. Luckily the air intake is on the bench so it was easy. GT40 pipe intake, in case that matters.

Pros
  • Surprisingly
Cons
  • Doesn't all fit

THE DIAMETER OF THIS UNIT DOES NOT FIT A VERY SUITABLE UNIT OEM

air leak anyway. It's definitely a looser fit compared to what came with the car. The gap isn't that big, but it will certainly leak unless the person deploys RTV or something to fill the gap. Another thing is that this is a good product.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
