Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket fits my engine?
This gasket is for Volvo Penta 5.0L & 5.7L engines (1989-1993) with a 12-bolt intake manifold. The best way to confirm is by matching your old part number to one of the equivalents listed in the Part Number Matrix or by checking your engine model in the compatibility table.
What are the signs of a failing intake manifold gasket?
Common symptoms include engine overheating, coolant leaks (often visible as puddles under the vehicle or white residue around the manifold), poor engine performance, misfires, or a "check engine" light. You may also notice milky, contaminated engine oil if coolant is leaking internally.
Can I reuse my old intake manifold bolts?
It is generally not recommended. Many intake manifold bolts are torque-to-yield (TTY), meaning they stretch upon installation and are designed for one-time use. Reusing them can lead to improper clamping force and gasket failure. Always consult your service manual.
How does this aftermarket gasket compare to the OEM part?
This part is designed to meet or exceed original equipment (OEM) specifications for fit, form, and function. It uses comparable materials, like the molded rubber over an aluminized steel carrier, to ensure a durable and reliable seal under high heat conditions.
What is special about the gasket material?
The molded rubber over an aluminized steel carrier design provides superior heat resistance and a robust seal. The steel carrier adds rigidity and strength, while the molded rubber ensures a tight fit against surface imperfections. It also includes features like alignment tabs and torque limiters found in high-quality gaskets.
Do I need to use sealant with this gasket?
Typically, modern gaskets like this are designed to be installed dry without any additional sealants. However, small dabs of RTV sealant are often recommended at the corners where the intake manifold meets the engine block end seals. Always follow the instructions in your engine's service manual.
OEM vs. Aftermarket?
This listing is an aftermarket replacement (not OEM). Built to OEM-level specifications with comparable materials. Manufactured in an ISO 9002 facility, batch-inspected for consistency.
