from ITM web site
ITM Engine Components, Inc. is a worldwide distributor and importer of internal
engine components for import vehicles. This includes Asian and European vehicles as
well as Domestic applications based on import platforms. Our components primarily
are for passenger vehicles and light trucks but some engines do also carry over into the
industrial market.
ITM's parent company is Folks Enterprise LTD. which is located in Taipei, Taiwan.
Folks Ent. is a large part of why ITM can bring high quality parts to the US at such
low aftermarket prices. Folks Ent. communicates directly with the far east factories
that ITM purchases from to make sure that ITM's specifications are met before the
parts are ever loaded for shipping. Heavy communication between the factory, Folks
Ent, and ITM, is a very thorough process to make sure ITM is providing the best
possible component to the automotive aftermarket. The components we distribute
meet or exceed OEM specifications for quality. Many of these components are
manufactured by the same factories that are contracted by the original auto maker.
All have ISO processes in place.
| The Heatshield is a replacement intake manifold gasket made from special high temperature plastic, designed to insulate the intake manifold from the cylinder head. The Heatshield is a replacement intake manifold gasket made from special high temperature plastic, designed to insulate the intake manifold from the cylinder head.
Hondata have developed a special high temperature insulating gasket which replaces the stock intake gasket. This and bypassing several heat sources significantly reduces the transfer of heat from the head to the intake and incoming air giving you up to 5% more power. Turbocharged cars often use an aluminum intercooler to cool the air compressed by the turbo. The intake manifold is also made of aluminum but because it is heated by the head from combustion and coolant, works in reverse to an intercooler by heating the intake air by as much as 50° C. Fact: For every 3.3 °C (5° F) rise in intake temperature, air density drops 1%. The hotter the air, the less fuel the computer injects to compensate for reduced oxygen. HondaLogger datalogging software has enabled us to measure intake air temperature under varied driving conditions. Around town, testing has shown an average drop of around 10 degrees C which is good for around 3 percent power increase. Remember though that 3 percent power increase is difficult to feel. You'd feel a greater change in performance getting rid of that passenger. In certain conditions a 30° C drop has been measured. The Honda manifold is heated in up to 5 places. From the head, the interior heating takeoff hose, the cold idle valve, the idle control valve and the throttle body heater. The Heatshield gasket kit contains an insulating gasket, and installation instructions. A race version only version with the thermostat bypass blocked is also available. |
| from edelbrock's web site Any gasket can create a seal, but a good gasket can do it with less clamping force, and for a longer period of time. Edelbrock's gaskets are not only manufactured from extremely high quality materials, but theyre also designed specifically to fit our intakes and cylinder heads, so theres no chance that our gaskets will interfere with the operation of either component. These gaskets also work with most stock cylinder heads and intakes, aluminum or cast-iron, as well as other aftermarket components. Top quality Edelbrock gaskets ensure a perfect seal every time. | |

| COMPLETE HEAD GASKET SETS Get the gaskets you need in one package! These complete sets include every gasket you need to install cylinder heads - head, intake, exhaust, valve cover, distributor, and thermostat housing gaskets. |  |
| CYLINDER HEAD GASKETS These Head Gaskets feature a tough, scuff-resistant silicone rubber coating that provides excellent sealing and conformability. They don't require the engine to be warmed up in order to seal, and if the engine needs to be disassembled, they release without sticking. The silicone coating reduces fluid migration through the gasket, and leaks, if they occur, are easy to detect on the white material. |  |
| INTAKE GASKETS Matched to Edelbrock Performer and Performer RPM cylinder heads and manifolds, our Intake Gaskets allow for optimum flow and performance. The new MP-2N Micropore® technology does not use solvents making our gaskets environmentally friendly. Impervious to most chemicals, this synthetic fiber composite provides a high recovery under load. This means that when compressed, the gasket will conform to any imperfections on the sealing surface even using lower flange pressures. A nitrile bead around each port opening makes the seal even better. |  |
| EXHAUST GASKETS Edelbrock Exhaust Gaskets are made of EnCore™ HTX-900; a high-density non-asbestos fiber/metal core composite material consisting of two graphite coated, heat resistant fiber blended sheets that are mechanically and chemically fused to an expanded steel core. The finished product provides high heat resistance, excellent load retention and unmatched sealing performance on exhaust manifold and header applications. A 50% recovery rate allows for gasket expansion in the event your header loses the proper header bolt torque. |  |
| VALVE COVER GASKETS Fabricated from performance CRC (core-reinforced-composite), Edelbrock Valve Cover Gaskets provide excellent sealing integrity and conformability for easy installation. The multi-layer construction has two highly compressible, high rubber content, fiber-reinforced outside layers which are chemically bonded to a high strength composite core. This unique core-reinforced construction has a radial strength to resist high-vacuum or blow-out conditions. |  |
