Intake Manifold Gaskets and Inlet Manifold Gasket Kits

An intake manifold gasket seals the manifold to the cylinder head, sealing the path that carries air and fuel into your engine. Some call it an inlet manifold gasket; others just an intake gasket, but either way, a worn one lets unmetered air in, and that throws off the whole combustion process.

CBT Auto Parts stocks intake manifold gaskets matched to OEM spec by make, model, and engine code, so the seal fits right the first time. This collection sits within our broader Gaskets & Seals range, alongside engine gasket kits for full top-end work and coolant system gaskets, since many intake gaskets also seal coolant passages. Orders ship fast across Australia, most within one business day.

FAQs

1. Is an inlet manifold gasket the same as an intake manifold gasket?

Yes. An inlet manifold gasket is simply another name for the same part, more common in some regions and older workshop terminology.

2. Can a bad intake manifold gasket cause a check engine light?

Yes. A vacuum leak from a failed gasket often triggers a lean fuel mixture code, since extra unmetered air enters the engine.

3. Does my intake manifold gasket also seal coolant?

On many V6 and V8 engines, yes. Check your specific engine design, as this affects both symptoms and replacement steps.

4. How long does an intake manifold gasket replacement take?

Inline engines are often a same-day job. V-style engines with tighter access and coolant draining usually take longer.

5. What's the difference between an intake gasket and an air intake gasket?

An intake manifold gasket seals the manifold to the head. An air intake gasket usually seals the filter housing to the throttle body, a different joint entirely.
