Honda K20 Thermal Intake Manifold Gasket – 17055-PNA-004

Honda K20 thermal intake manifold gasket 17055-PNA-004

High quality thermal intake manifold gasket designed for Honda K-series engines. The gasket replaces the factory manifold gasket and is made from 3 mm PTFE to limit heat transfer from the cylinder head to the intake manifold. This helps to reduce heat soak, stabilise intake air temperatures and support consistent performance both in daily use and in tuned engines.

Applications – Honda K20 engine codes

The gasket fits the following Honda models and engines:

• Civic 3D 2001–2005 – K20A2, Type-R
• Civic 5D 2004–2005 – K20A3
• CR-V 2002–2006 – K20A4
• FR-V 2005–2006 – K20A9
• Stream 2001–2005 – K20A1

Key features of the Honda K20 thermal gasket

• Thermal intake manifold gasket for Honda K20 engines
• Material: PTFE (Teflon) – 3 mm thickness
• Helps to reduce heat transfer from cylinder head to intake manifold
• Supports lower and more stable intake air temperatures
• Durable design suitable for daily driving and performance builds
• Can be reused when the manifold is removed, if correctly installed

Material specification – PTFE (Teflon)

The gasket is manufactured from high quality PTFE with excellent thermal and chemical resistance:

• Very high resistance to fuels, oils and most chemical agents
• Continuous operating temperature up to approx. +260 °C
• Short-term temperature resistance up to approx. +300 °C
• Non-flammable, self-extinguishing material
• Very low thermal conductivity – one of the lowest among plastics

Replacement for OEM number

• Replaces Honda intake manifold gasket: 17055-PNA-004

Installation notes

• Clean the head and manifold surfaces thoroughly before installation
• Check for any damage, warpage or contamination of the sealing surfaces
• Tighten the intake manifold bolts evenly and according to the manufacturer’s torque specs
• After first heat cycles it is good practice to recheck the manifold bolts

FAQ – Honda K20 thermal intake manifold gasket 17055-PNA-004

Does this gasket fit my Honda Civic Type-R?
Yes, the gasket fits Civic 3D 2001–2005 with the K20A2 engine (Type-R).

Is this gasket suitable for daily driving?
Yes. The PTFE thermal gasket works well in normal street use and in cars with mild or more advanced performance modifications.

Do I need to use additional sealant?
In most cases additional sealant is not required if the surfaces are flat and clean. If sealant is used, apply only a very thin, even layer and avoid excess material entering the ports.

Can the gasket be reused?
The PTFE material allows reuse, provided the gasket is not damaged and the sealing surfaces are properly prepared. Always inspect the gasket carefully before installing it again.

Does this gasket increase engine power?
The main function of the gasket is to limit heat transfer to the intake manifold and help stabilise intake air temperatures. Any power gain depends on the overall engine setup and supporting modifications.
