Intake Manifold Gasket Fel Pro MS901571 Assorted 31x6x0.3

Description

Product Overview

The Fel-Pro intake manifold gasket is a precision‑engineered component designed to replace the original equipment gasket on a wide range of automotive engines. Manufactured from a high‑density machined material, the gasket offers superior dimensional stability and resistance to deformation under heat and pressure. Its 31 x 6 x 0.3 inch dimensions provide a broad coverage area that matches the factory‑specified sealing surface, ensuring a leak‑free connection between the intake manifold and the engine block.

Every gasket is produced under strict quality‑control procedures that verify compliance with OEM specifications. The result is a product that not only meets but often exceeds the performance of the original part. The machined construction eliminates the inconsistencies that can arise from cast or compressed gaskets, delivering a uniform thickness and a smooth sealing surface that promotes even pressure distribution across the mating surfaces.

Key specifications include a weight of 8.8 ounces, a compact packaging size of 31 x 6 x 0.3 inches, and a single‑count unit that fits most standard intake and exhaust manifold applications. The gasket is identified by the model number MS901571 and carries the Fel-Pro brand reputation for durability and reliability in demanding repair environments.

Usage

This gasket is intended for professional automotive technicians and experienced DIY enthusiasts who require a dependable seal during engine rebuilds, manifold replacements, or performance upgrades. It is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines that utilize an intake manifold design compatible with the specified dimensions. Installation is straightforward: clean the mating surfaces, apply a thin layer of gasket sealant if recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, and position the gasket carefully to align all bolt holes before torquing the manifold bolts to the specified values.

The gasket performs exceptionally well in high‑temperature environments, making it ideal for engines that operate under heavy load, such as towing, racing, or frequent stop‑and‑go driving. Its resistance to oil and coolant exposure further extends service life, reducing the likelihood of premature failure and the need for repeat repairs.

FAQ

What engines are compatible with this gasket?

The gasket fits most automotive engines that use a 31 x 6 x 0.3 inch intake manifold. It is commonly used on both gasoline and diesel applications where the original equipment gasket matches these dimensions.

Do I need to use sealant with the Fel-Pro gasket?

In most cases the machined gasket provides a sufficient seal on its own. However, if the vehicle manufacturer recommends a sealant, a thin layer of a compatible gasket sealant can be applied to enhance sealing performance.

How does the machined design improve durability?

The machined construction ensures consistent thickness and eliminates the porosity found in cast gaskets. This uniformity distributes pressure evenly, reducing the chance of leaks and extending the gasket’s lifespan under high‑temperature and high‑pressure conditions.

Can this gasket be used for both intake and exhaust manifolds?

Yes, the gasket is rated for use on both intake and exhaust manifolds, provided the dimensions and bolt pattern match the specifications of the engine in question.

What warranty does Fel-Pro offer on this product?

Fel-Pro provides a limited warranty that covers defects in material and workmanship. Detailed warranty terms are available on the Fel-Pro website or through authorized distributors.
