The MPI Automotive EMG268 is a manifold gasket listed to fit the Holden VL Commodore RB30. It is the sealing gasket between the cylinder head and the exhaust manifold or extractor flange.

What is a manifold gasket and what does it do?

A manifold gasket seals the joint where the exhaust manifold or extractor bolts to the cylinder head exhaust face, keeping combustion gas in the pipework at the port. On the VL's inline RB30 it is a head-length gasket that lives in a constant heat cycle, so it is treated as a consumable and renewed whenever that joint is opened. The EMG268 is the gasket pattern matched to the RB30, the sealing part rather than any exhaust hardware.

Will it suit my Holden Commodore?

It is listed to fit the Holden VL Commodore with the RB30 engine. Gaskets are engine-specific, so confirm your exact Commodore and engine with the workshop before ordering to be sure the EMG268 pattern matches your head and flange face.

When would you fit it?

A fresh gasket goes in any time the joint between the head and the manifold or extractor is opened, whether for a manifold repair, an extractor change or to cure an exhaust leak at the port. An old gasket that has heat-set tends to weep once disturbed, so a new EMG268 is part of putting that joint back together properly on the older VL.

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 face, check the flange is true and torque evenly so the new gasket seals first time. On a vehicle of the VL's age, seized studs are common, so it is worth booking the bay. If you only need the gasket, we can supply the EMG268; its RRP is $91.20.

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

Common questions

Which Commodore does the EMG268 suit?
The Holden VL Commodore with the RB30 engine. Confirm your exact build with the workshop.
Is this the gasket or the manifold?
It is the manifold gasket only, the sealing part between the head and the manifold or extractor flange.
When should it be replaced?
Any time the head-to-manifold joint is opened, since a re-used heat-set gasket tends to leak.
