The Remflex 53-008 is a 100% graphite exhaust gasket built to seal the exhaust ports on inline-4 DOHC 2.0L and 2.4L engines and hold up under extreme heat. The soft graphite construction crushes to conform to the sealing surfaces, fills minor imperfections, and rebounds as the joint heats and cools, so it keeps a tight seal without repeated re-torquing.
