The MPI Automotive EMG209 is an extractor/manifold gasket (sold each) listed to fit the Holden Commodore VN, VP, VQ and VR with the 3.8-litre V6 Buick engine. It's the head-to-extractor seal, not the header itself.

What does this gasket cover?

The EMG209 is the flat exhaust gasket for the 3.8-litre Buick V6 in the VN, VP, VQ and VR Commodore. It seals the joint where the extractor or factory manifold meets the cylinder head, keeping exhaust gas in the runner rather than leaking at the flange. It is sold each, so a V6 — with a bank of cylinders on each side — typically needs a pair. It is matched to the Buick V6 port pattern across those Commodore series.

What is an extractor gasket and what does it do?

An extractor gasket is the replaceable seal between the cylinder head and the extractor or manifold. It is renewed whenever that joint is opened — new extractors, a head off, or a leak — because heat cycling sets the old material so it won't reseal. A failed gasket ticks or hisses under throttle and can let fumes past. On a V6 the two banks each have their own gasket. It does not change how the engine runs; its job is to keep each joint gas-tight through the engine's heat cycles.

Will it suit my Commodore V6?

The EMG209 is listed to fit the Holden Commodore VN, VP, VQ and VR with the 3.8-litre Buick V6, and is sold each. Confirm how many you need and your exact series with the workshop before ordering.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits Commodore V6 extractors and gaskets in-house across the Illawarra. A V6 gasket renewal means cleaning both bank faces, checking the flanges are flat, and tightening evenly so each seal sits true. The EMG209 is supplied by MPI Automotive at an RRP of $18.38 each; contact us to confirm quantity and book the bay.
