Even thought it is a thick aluminum gasket, the actual gasket material is an 1/8" wide rubber channel. It started to go bad on the #4 cylinder causing all kinds of problems. Bad idle, misfires...not good. It seems to be more of a problem on the Pre-98's but now that the 98+'s are getting older, I'd be concerned. I'm more of a preventative maintenance kind of guy. I would have saved myself ALOT of headaches by replacing the gasket around 100k. It started to act up around 110k. Extremely cold winter days are when it was the worst. I ended up changing out the MAF, injectors, EGR, and IAC before finding out that it was the stupid gasket. I replaced it with a nice Fel-Pro one.
