With an outer diameter of 6.80 inches and an inner diameter of 4.25 inches, this gasket maintains watertight integrity between manifold sections, preventing coolant leakage and exhaust contamination.

Because of the corrosive marine environment, these gaskets must resist not only heat but also saltwater exposure and galvanic corrosion. Diesel Pro Power’s marine-grade versions use reinforced composites that maintain flexibility and sealing under continuous thermal cycling.

Manifold Insulation Tape

Manifold Insulation Tape—available in 3-inch and 4-inch widths—is vital for temperature control in the 16V92 Turbo exhaust system. By wrapping exhaust manifolds and elbows, the tape reduces surface temperatures, enhances crew safety, and improves turbocharger spool efficiency by maintaining exhaust gas energy.

• 3-inch x 100-foot roll (1/8” thick) is ideal for smaller-diameter manifolds or tighter engine compartments.

• 4-inch x 100-foot roll (1/8” thick) offers broader coverage for larger pipe sections and elbows.

This fiberglass-based insulation withstands continuous heat up to 1200°F, providing long-term protection against radiant heat damage to nearby hoses, cables, and engine room components.

Manifold Studs, Crabs, Washers, and Nuts

The 16V92 Turbo’s manifold assembly relies on multiple fastening components working in unison:

• Manifold Studs (7/16” – 14/20 x 2.10”) ensure uniform pressure across the flange interface.

• Manifold Crabs provide clamping strength and alignment for the manifold sections.

• Manifold Washers and Nuts are designed to distribute torque evenly and prevent loosening under thermal expansion cycles.
