| | Thermal Inlet Gasket - Ferriday Engineering |
 | | In theory, because of the cooler and denser inlet charge, a small and immediate power increase should be evident (if you can run a little more ignition timing before pre-ignition occurs then power should rise), but their main strength will be in helping to keep temperatures under control during and after prolonged engine use. |
 | | Engines with plastic inlet manifolds are not affected in the same way, though most modified engines discard these in favour of cast alloy. |
 | | Engines with a "V" configuration generally have an inlet manifold design that does not allow this type of gasket, but the same theory can be applied to plenum chambers and carburettor base plates etc. Prototypes can be created quickly in a variety of thicknesses - please call Mike Tanski on 01785 621710 for more details. |
