Essential Seal. The Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Gasket is a crucial sealing component for 1962-1974 Corvette C2 & C3 models. This gasket is designed to create a tight seal between the exhaust manifold and the heat riser valve, preventing exhaust leaks and ensuring proper operation of the heat riser system.
Proper Heat Riser Function. A properly sealed heat riser system is critical for cold starts in older vehicles. The heat riser valve, when closed, directs hot exhaust gases around the intake manifold to help warm up the engine quickly. This Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Gasket ensures the system functions efficiently, improving cold engine performance and fuel atomization during warm-up.
Built to Last. The Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Gasket is constructed from high-temperature resistant materials, typically specialized composite or multi-layer steel. This robust construction is essential for withstanding the extreme heat and corrosive nature of exhaust gases, ensuring a long-lasting and reliable seal without burning out or degrading.
Preventing Exhaust Leaks. A primary function of this Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Gasket is to prevent exhaust leaks at the junction of the exhaust manifold and heat riser valve. Leaks in this area can lead to a loss of engine power, increased emissions, and an annoying exhaust noise, making a proper seal vital for both performance and comfort.
Installation. Putting this Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Gasket; 2-1/2-Inch on your Corvette C2 & C3 takes 1 hour to install.
Application. The Exhaust Manifold Heat Riser Gasket; 2-1/2-Inch fits 1962-1974 Corvette C2 & C3 models.
