Intake Manifold Gasket DriveFix for Hyundai Kia

Description

Product Overview

The DriveFix intake manifold gasket is engineered to replace the factory‑original sealing component on select Hyundai and Kia vehicles. Crafted from a high‑temperature aluminum alloy, the gasket offers superior thermal conductivity and resistance to oil, coolant and combustion gases. Its 1.76‑ounce weight and compact 4.65 x 3.03 x 1.61‑inch package dimensions make handling straightforward, while the precision‑cut design matches the OEM part number 29215-3CFA1 for a flawless fit. The gasket’s composition ensures consistent compression, preventing vacuum leaks that can cause rough idle, reduced power, or increased fuel consumption.

Usage

Designed for the intake manifold of Hyundai Azera (3.3 L, 2015‑2017), Palisade (2020‑2025), Santa Fe (2015‑2018), Santa Fe XL (2015‑2019) and Kia Cadenza (2014‑2020), Sedona (2015‑2021), Sorento 3.3 L (2014‑2020) and Telluride (2020‑2024), this gasket is ideal for both routine maintenance and repair after a failed seal. Whether you are a seasoned mechanic or a confident DIY enthusiast, the gasket can be installed with standard hand tools in a typical garage environment. It performs best when the mating surfaces are clean, dry, and free of old gasket residue. The product’s lightweight nature reduces overall engine weight marginally, contributing to marginal fuel‑efficiency gains.

Do I need special tools to install the gasket?

No special tools are required. Standard socket sets, torque wrenches and a gasket scraper are sufficient for a proper installation.

Can I reuse the old gasket material?

It is not recommended to reuse the old gasket. Residual sealant and deformation can compromise the new gasket’s ability to form a proper seal.

What torque specifications should I follow?

Refer to your vehicle’s service manual for the exact torque sequence and values for the intake manifold bolts. Typically, a gradual tightening in a criss‑cross pattern to the manufacturer’s specified torque is advised.

How long does the gasket last under normal driving conditions?

When installed correctly and maintained according to the vehicle’s service schedule, the aluminum gasket can last the lifetime of the engine, often exceeding 100,000 miles.
