Intake Manifold Gasket for Caterpillar 3406C Engines

The intake manifold gasket is a key component that seals the joint between the intake manifold and the cylinder head on Caterpillar 3406C engines. Each engine requires six gaskets, one for each intake port, ensuring that only clean, metered air enters the combustion chamber.

Without a proper seal, the 3406C engine can experience unmetered airflow, causing a lean air-fuel mixture, reduced horsepower, and decreased fuel efficiency. In some cases, an intake gasket failure may even trigger excessive smoke or unusual engine noises under load.

Diesel Pro Power provides premium aftermarket intake manifold gaskets designed specifically for Caterpillar 3406C applications. Manufactured from durable, heat- and pressure-resistant materials, these gaskets are built to withstand the harsh operating environments of on-highway trucks, industrial power units, and marine applications powered by the 3406C.

• Fitment: Caterpillar 3406C engines

• Quantity Required: Six per engine

• Function: Maintains airtight seal between intake manifold and cylinder head

• Benefits: Optimized combustion, reliable power output, reduced risk of engine inefficiency

For best results, intake manifold gaskets should be replaced whenever the manifold is removed during maintenance or rebuilds. Installing new gaskets ensures leak-free operation and long-term reliability.

Exhaust Manifold Gasket for Caterpillar 3406C Engines

The exhaust manifold gasket seals the connection between the exhaust manifold and the engine block. This is critical in directing hot exhaust gases out of the cylinder head and through the turbocharger or exhaust system without leaks.

On the Caterpillar 3406C, a failing exhaust manifold gasket can result in visible soot buildup around the gasket joint, a ticking noise under load, or reduced turbocharger performance. Left unchecked, leaks can contribute to turbo inefficiency, lost horsepower, and exposure to hazardous exhaust gases.

Diesel Pro Power’s premium aftermarket exhaust manifold gaskets are engineered with multi-layered, heat-resistant materials to provide a durable, long-lasting seal. They are specifically designed to withstand the extreme heat cycles and vibration the 3406C experiences in heavy-duty operation.

• Fitment: Caterpillar 3406C engines

• Placement: Between exhaust manifold and engine block

• Material: High-strength, heat-resistant construction

• Benefits: Prevents leaks, preserves turbo efficiency, reduces noise, and maintains emissions compliance

Replacing exhaust manifold gaskets during rebuilds or when leaks appear is essential for maximizing performance, minimizing downtime, and protecting engine health.
