Fel-Pro Intake Manifold Gasket Set for Buick LeSabre & GM V6 — Molded Rubber, Aluminized-Steel Seal

This Fel-Pro gasket set supplies the sealing components you need when rebuilding or repairing intake manifolds on compatible Buick models. Built with molded rubber over an aluminized-steel carrier and precision features such as locating tabs and torque limiters, the kit is designed to handle uneven sealing surfaces and resist heat and coolant exposure common in engine bays.

Which vehicles and engines does this gasket set fit?

This set is manufactured for a range of GM-built Buick models across multiple years and V6 engines. Always confirm fitment by entering your vehicle’s year, make, model, engine, and trim; some listings include supplemental fit notes you should review before purchasing.

• Compatible with Buick LaCrosse, Lucerne, Allure, LeSabre, Park Avenue, Regal, and Riviera model ranges across specified years.
• Intended for the intake manifold applications found on the listed model years; verify exact engine code for a precise match.
• Check the online vehicle-fit tool and any product notes for special fit qualifiers.

How does this gasket set handle imperfect or worn sealing surfaces?

Fel-Pro designs this gasket to perform reliably on real-world repair jobs where mating surfaces may be uneven or slightly damaged. The molded rubber sealing beads compress to fill gaps and stop potential leak paths while the steel-reinforced carrier adds structural support at higher temperatures.

• Molded rubber beads conform to irregularities and reduce air or coolant leaks.
• Aluminized-steel carrier provides thermal resistance and dimensional stability.
• Engineered tolerances account for common repair conditions rather than pristine factory surfaces.

What features make installation easier and reduce installation errors?

This kit includes alignment aids and torque-control features to simplify installation and protect the gasket during assembly. Locating tabs position the gasket correctly while integrated torque limiters reduce the risk of over-torquing and gasket deformation.

• Locating tabs ensure proper placement and faster fit-up during reassembly.
• Torque limiters help prevent splitting, extrusion, or overtightening damage.
• The complete set supplies all necessary sealing components for the intake repair unless noted otherwise.

What materials and durability attributes should I expect from this Fel-Pro set?

The Fel-Pro MS 98014 combines resilient rubber with a protective metal carrier to withstand heat cycles and coolant exposure present in intake manifold service. These materials are selected to extend service life compared with generic gaskets and to maintain sealing performance under normal engine operating conditions.

• Molded rubber resists compression set and maintains sealing pressure over time.
• Aluminized-steel carrier helps resist corrosion and heat-related distortion.
• Proprietary sealing profiles reduce potential leak paths at critical junctions.

Who this is for: This intake manifold gasket set is aimed at professional mechanics, knowledgeable DIYers, and restoration shops working on the specified Buick/GM V6 vehicles who need a reliable, vehicle-specific sealing solution. If you require a full repair kit with alignment aids and anti-overtorque protection for intake manifold service, this Fel-Pro set provides the engineered materials and installation features to support a proper repair—just be sure to verify vehicle fitment notes before ordering.
