Bulk Gasket Material

JEGS offers a wide selection of bulk gasket material for automotive engines, allowing you to create custom gaskets for various applications. Our selection includes high-quality materials from top brands, ensuring optimal performance and durability.

The three typical gasket materials used on automotive engines include:

1. Composite gasket material: Composed of materials like graphite, or aramid fibers, these gaskets are widely used for sealing various engine components, including head gaskets, exhaust gaskets, and intake manifold gaskets.
2. Rubber and elastomeric gasket material: Used for sealing components that require flexibility, such as valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and water pump gaskets, these gaskets are made from materials like nitrile rubber, silicone, or Viton.
3. Metal gasket material: Made from materials like copper, aluminum, or multi-layer steel (MLS), metal gaskets are used in high-temperature, high-pressure applications, such as turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, and some head gaskets.

Engine gasket material is used to create a seal between two mating surfaces, preventing the leakage of fluids, gases, and contaminants. They are essential for maintaining the integrity and performance of the engine, as well as protecting it from damage caused by leaks. Gaskets can be found in various parts of the engine, such as the cylinder head, intake and exhaust manifolds, valve covers, oil pans, and water pumps.

The cost of automotive gasket material for cars can vary depending on factors such as the type, brand, size, and quantity of the material. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $5 to $50 per sheet or roll of gasket material. It's important to invest in high-quality gasket materials to ensure the proper sealing and performance of your engine, as well as to prevent leaks and potential damage.
