Unlike standard exhaust gaskets, these felts are specifically designed to seal the gaps where the intake manifold heat riser tubes pass through the engine tinware. Proper installation ensures that the high-pressure cooling air from the fan shroud remains directed over the cylinders rather than escaping through the riser tube openings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eThese seals are designed for use with \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"38\"\u003eoriginal cylinder cover tins\u003c\/b\u003e and the specific small tin plates that surround the heat risers.
