The Mazda 6 Intake Manifold Gasket covers the connection between the manifold and the cylinder head, ensuring accurate air and coolant flow, which makes the engine breathe and provides reliable power. Constructed of heat-resistant rubber over rigid plastic, it closely fits when it compresses, eliminating any leakage of vacuum, which can deprive the engine of horsepower or allow external debris to enter sensitive orifices. This is a simple but important component in modern Mazda engines since it maintains fuel mixture proportions, maintains idle operation, and prevents the entry of coolant into the oil supply, which maintains lubrication and prevents expensive knock or overheating. The dimensions and pattern of the bolts do not change across the various Mazda model years, such that the layout fits the entire class of 6 sedan, liftback, and wagon, whether early versions powered by a naturally aspirated engine or the current generation powered by a turbocharged engine. This Intake Manifold Gasket is also efficient as it allows engine management systems to operate with valid sensor data that enable the spark timing and injection pulses to remain optimized to provide excellent acceleration without unnecessary fuel waste. Safety gains are also important as a sealed intake will reduce the risk of a spill of hot coolant onto electrical connections or exhaust components where a fire can easily occur. This Intake Manifold Gasket lasts through thousands of temperature changes without cracking unlike lesser seals which wear out easily because it is made of a strong composite of two materials and its edges are precision-molded to factory specifications. Once age prevails, mileage usually improves with the replacement of a new unit, the strange whistling noise goes away, and loyal Mazda drivers remain sure that they can travel long distances on the highway.
