- Exceptional 85% material recovery to maintain a tight seal even after thermal cycling
- Strong torque retention that eliminates the need for gasket sealers or re-torquing
- Precision thickness of 0.060 inches to match OEM specifications for optimal fit and function
- Specifically designed for Subaru FA20D and Toyota 4U-GSE engines to ensure perfect compatibility
- Resistant to oil, coolant, and other automotive fluids for long-lasting performance
Construction & Design:
The gasket kit features AFM material—a chemically blown nitrile synthetic rubber—bonded to a robust aluminum core. This combination provides a balance of flexibility and strength, allowing the gasket to conform precisely to mating surfaces while resisting deformation under heat and pressure. The aluminum core adds structural integrity, preventing gasket blowouts and leaks over extended use.
Cometic’s proprietary bonding process ensures the AFM material remains securely attached to the core, enhancing durability and sealing reliability. The gasket’s engineered thickness of 0.060 inches matches factory specifications, ensuring a perfect fit without the need for modifications or additional sealants.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the Cometic Intake Manifold Gasket Kit is straightforward and designed to fit directly onto the intake manifold flanges of the Subaru BRZ (2013–2020) and Toyota 86 (2017–2020) models with FA20D and 4U-GSE engines. No special tools or modifications are required, and the gasket’s design eliminates the need for additional sealers or re-torquing after installation.
For best results, ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. This gasket kit is ideal for both OEM replacement and performance upgrades, providing a reliable seal that supports engine efficiency and longevity.
