The MPI Automotive EMG247 is an extractor gasket listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS, VT, VU and VY with the Ecotec 3.8L V6. It is the seal between the cylinder head exhaust face and the extractor or manifold flange.

What is this gasket and where does it sit?

An extractor gasket seals the joint where the manifold or extractor flange bolts onto the cylinder head, keeping exhaust gas in the pipework at the port rather than leaking past the flange. On the Commodore's Ecotec 3.8L V6 it works through constant heat cycling, which is why it is treated as a consumable and renewed whenever that joint is opened. The EMG247 is the gasket pattern matched to this engine, the sealing part rather than any exhaust hardware itself.

Will it suit my Commodore?

It is listed to fit the Holden Commodore VS, VT, VU and VY running the Ecotec 3.8L V6. That covers a long run of Commodore, so confirm your exact model and engine with the workshop before ordering to be sure the EMG247 pattern matches your heads and flange faces across both banks.

When would you fit it?

A fresh gasket goes in any time the joint between a head and the manifold or extractor is opened, whether for a manifold repair or to cure an exhaust leak at the port. The gasket heat-sets in service, so re-using the old one tends to weep once disturbed; new EMG247 gaskets are part of doing the job properly on a V6.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits gaskets like this as part of manifold and extractor work across the Illawarra. We clean the head faces, check the flanges are true and torque evenly so the new gaskets seal first time on both banks. If you only need the part for your own job we can supply the EMG247; its RRP is $23.86.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.

Common questions

Which Commodores does the EMG247 suit?
The VS, VT, VU and VY Commodore with the Ecotec 3.8L V6. Confirm your exact model and engine with the workshop.
Is this the gasket or the extractors?
It is the extractor gasket only, the sealing part between the head and the manifold or extractor flange.
When should it be replaced?
Any time a head-to-manifold joint is opened, since a heat-set gasket tends to leak once disturbed.
