Gaskets
Flat intake manifold gasket it used between the intake manifold runners and the cylinder head on Porsche flat-six engines. Each gasket seals one intake port pair; a complete engine typically uses six of them.
Fits:
Porsche 911 1974 - 1983 - 6pcs required
Diagram ref no 7.
This set of six intake manifold gaskets provides a complete gas-tight seal between the intake manifold and cylinder heads, ensuring that all air entering the engine follows the correct metered path through the CIS or fuel-injection system. By eliminating air leaks at the manifold flanges, these gaskets help maintain proper air–fuel mixture, support smooth idle and drivability, and prevent lean conditions that can raise combustion temperatures.
Over time, manifold gaskets naturally harden, shrink or crack from heat cycles, fuel vapour exposure and age. When this happens, the engine may draw in unmetered air, resulting in rough idle, poor cold running, lean mixture symptoms, hesitation or flat spots during acceleration. Vacuum leaks also make tuning more difficult and can lead to increased fuel consumption. Replacing old gaskets with a fresh set of six restores full sealing integrity, stabilises idle and mixture control, and helps the engine operate as intended.
When to replace
You should replace the full set of inlet manifold gaskets if:
• You are rebuilding or refreshing the top end of the engine.
• There are suspected vacuum leaks around the intake manifold.
• The engine shows rough idle, hunting, or lean-related symptoms not traced to other components.
• The existing gaskets are cracked, brittle, or oil/fuel soaked.
• You are upgrading, servicing or adjusting the CIS / intake system on a classic 911 or 930.

Flat intake manifold gasket it used between the intake manifold runners and the cylinder head on Porsche flat-six engines. Each gasket seals one intake port pair; a complete engine typically uses six of them.
Sold each, typically 6 required per car.
Fits:
Porsche 911 1974 - 1983 - 6pcs required
Diagram ref no 7.
This gasket provides a gas-tight seal at the intake manifold interface so that all air entering the engine passes through the intended metered path (CIS / fuel injection system).
By preventing air leaks at the manifold flange, it:
• Maintains correct mixture and idle quality
• Supports smooth throttle response and drivability
• Helps avoid lean conditions that can lead to higher combustion temperatures.
Over time, intake manifold gaskets can harden, shrink or crack due to heat cycles, fuel vapour and age. When they fail:
• The engine may draw in unmetered air, causing rough idle, poor cold running or lean mixture.
• You can experience hesitation, popping, or flat spots under acceleration.
• Vacuum leaks can make tuning and diagnostics difficult and may increase fuel consumption.
Replacing old gaskets with fresh restores correct sealing, stabilises idle and mixture, and helps the engine run as intended.
When to replace
Consider replacing the inlet manifold gaskets if:
• You’re rebuilding or refreshing the top end of the engine.
• There are suspected vacuum leaks around the intake manifold.
• The engine has rough idle, hunting, or lean codes/symptoms not traced to other components.
• The original gaskets are visibly cracked, brittle, or oil/fuel soaked.
• You are converting, upgrading or servicing the CIS / intake system on a classic 911 or 930.

Air Inlet Engine Gaskets – Precision Sealing for Optimal Porsche Performance
Air inlet engine gaskets are crucial sealing components within your Porsche’s intake system. They ensure an airtight connection between the intake manifold, throttle body, and other air passages, preventing unmetered air from entering the engine. By maintaining proper air pressure and flow, these gaskets help your Porsche deliver smooth performance, efficient combustion, and consistent power output.
At Design911, we supply a complete selection of genuine and high-quality air inlet gaskets for various Porsche models, including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera models. Each gasket is designed for precise fitment, high heat resistance, and superior durability — ensuring reliable performance and long-lasting sealing under all driving conditions.
What Do Air Inlet Engine Gaskets Do?
Air inlet gaskets serve as a critical barrier that ensures
only properly metered air enters your Porsche’s engine. Their functions
include:
- Sealing
joints between intake components to prevent air leaks.
- Maintaining
correct air-fuel ratios for efficient combustion.
- Preventing
contamination from oil, dust, and debris.
- Ensuring stable engine idle and performance by regulating airflow integrity.
A high-quality gasket keeps your Porsche’s intake system perfectly balanced, contributing to smooth throttle response, better fuel efficiency, and reliable power delivery.
Why Do Air Inlet Engine Gaskets Fail?
Exposure to extreme heat, pressure, and vibration gradually
wears down air inlet gaskets. Over time, they can lose elasticity and sealing
capability. Common causes of failure include:
- Thermal
expansion and contraction causing cracks or deformation.
- Material
fatigue from continuous heat cycling.
- Oil
or coolant contamination degrading gasket integrity.
- Improper
installation or over-torquing during servicing.
- Age-related wear and drying of gasket material.
Symptoms of a failing air inlet gasket include rough idle, vacuum leaks, hissing noises, poor fuel economy, or a check engine light related to air-fuel imbalance.
Why Replace a Faulty Air Inlet Engine Gasket?
A worn or leaking air inlet gasket can allow unmetered air into the engine, disrupting combustion and reducing performance. Replacing it restores proper air sealing, improving efficiency and reliability while preventing potential damage to intake components.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Restored airtight sealing for optimal engine performance.
- Smoother idle and improved throttle response.
- Enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
- Long-term reliability with manufacturer-quality materials.
All gaskets from Design911 are made from premium-grade composites or multi-layer materials, designed to withstand heat, pressure, and chemical exposure — ensuring consistent sealing and performance for every Porsche model.
