Thermal barier Intake gasket
i remember finding a website on the internet that makes this 1/2" thick gasket material for the intake manifold. It supposedly insulated all the heat from the engine block to the intake manifold. I have done many searches, but i cannot find any website that just sells sheets of it, so i can make my own gasket out of it. Does anybody knows where i can purchase this stuff?
thanks in advanced

I made a set for my FD out of hard phenolic 1/4" or 3/8" from McMaster. They work great--been on the car for over a year with no problems. (approx. 7,000 miles) I used these for engine to LIM, LIM to UIM, and UIM to TB. It definitely slows heat transfer and help keeps things a lot cooler in the engine bay.
One thing to remember when doing this is that you need to extend the length of any bolts and studs by about the same thickness as you add. I also used a stock gasket on each side of the insulators and have had no sealing problems.

Yes, I made all my intake gaskets out of the stuff -- TB to UIM, UIM to LIM, and LIM to engine. I think it's the ideal material. It has high heat resistance, doesn't stick to stuff with time and temperature, is easily cut with a razor knife, and seals well.
