Specifications

The AFA Industries 2721956 Exhaust Manifold Gasket is a direct-fit replacement for Caterpillar part 272‑1956, commonly used on C7 and 3126B/3126E engines from the early 1980s to recent builds. Designed to match OEM tolerances and material specs, this gasket forms a reliable seal under high-temperature and pressure conditions. With dimensions roughly 2.3 × 3.55 × 0.1 in and weighing approximately 0.18 lb, it ensures leak-free exhaust flow and helps prevent turbocharger exhaust-side failures. Sold either individually or in 6‑packs with stylized lock tabs, this gasket supports maintenance and repair operations across Cat turbocharged diesel engines.
