Mahle MS16093

Mahle MS16093 is a beaded-steel exhaust manifold gasket set for Chevrolet 305 and 350 Small Block Vortec engines. The steel construction is designed for the temperature and thermal cycling present at the exhaust manifold joint.

Application / fitment

The primary range includes 5.0 and 5.7 L Vortec engines used in GM vehicles from approximately 1996–2002. Exact application depends on model, engine code and manifold version.

• selected Chevrolet and GMC C/K 1500, 2500 and 3500 with 5.0/5.7 V8 engines
• Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana 1500/2500/3500
• Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Suburban
• selected Chevrolet P30/P3500 and Workhorse P30 5.7 V8 applications
• selected Chevrolet/GMC W3500 and W4500 plus Isuzu NPR/NPR-HD using GM 5.7 V8 engines

MS16093 is catalogued for 1996–2002 Vortec 305/350 cylinder heads. Do not select it by 5.7 L displacement alone, as earlier and later engine families can use different ports and mounting patterns.
