Ehxaust Cone Gasket (81x65x12.3) CRV/ETC - ECR81

An exhaust cone gasket seals the connection between the manifold and cylinder head. This prevents exhaust leakage out of the connection and also ensures that all exhaust gas will flow through the catalytic converter for treatment. It is a mechanical seal that is usually made from multi-layered embossed steel. However, it can be manufactured from high-temperature fiber material, graphite, ceramic composites, and combinations of those materials too.

It is a key component of the vehicle’s engine and serves as an elastomeric component that seals the intersection between two surfaces, in this case, it’s the cylinder head and the manifold unit. In many car engine system’s, only a single exhaust manifold gasket is needed. However, some engines, like a V6 or V8 will require two.

The materials used for other gaskets within the car’s engine system, such as flange gaskets and ring gaskets, are usually matched to the exhaust manifold gasket too. This is something all workers and personnel within the automotive industry should know.
