Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install gaskets with the ThermoBlok spacers, or do they replace the manifold gaskets?

Outlaw Engineering
ThermoBloks should be installed with gaskets, which is why most kits contain extra gaskets for the spacers. Users may elect to apply a "sensor safe" gasket sealant such as Permatex #1 instead. The 1/4" (6.35 mm) addition to the runner length will indeed shift the torque curve to the left slightly, about 50 RPM. This has actually been proven to be a benefit as it helps to restore some of the torque lost due to the addition of larger intakes and exhausts.

Will ThermoBlok spacers void my warranty?

Outlaw Engineering
Although Outlaw Engineering makes no claim regarding the voiding of factory warranties, most dealers take the stance that if the aftermarket part did not contribute to the cause of the failure, it is a moot point. Outlaw Engineering has literally thousands of ThermoBlok spacers in the field and we have never known of any type of failure related to our product. EVER.

Do ThermoBlok spacers come in other thicknesses?

Outlaw Engineering
ThermoBlok spacers are completely modular and can be stacked into any thickness of ¼" increments. If you want a hugely thick spacer for your monster motor, please contact us.

What are the negative side effects of running with ThermoBlok spacers?

Outlaw Engineering
None. Seriously. Outlaw Engineering does not know of any drawbacks to the use of properly installed ThermoBlok spacers. In addition to power increases, we have received reports of better gas mileage, better sounding induction noise, and longer life of underhood components such as hoses do to reduced temperature to name a few.

I don't feel the need to keep the throttle body cool, can I buy the intake manifold spacers only?

Outlaw Engineering
This is a common question made by people that don't fully understand the operation of the system. The throttle body spacer is not meant to keep the throttle body cool, but is meant to keep the intake manifold insulated from the heat of the throttle body. Remember that most throttle bodies are heated by engine coolant to keep ice from forming in cold climates. This heat transfers from the throttle body to the intake so that the intake is now effectively heated from both ends.

How do I install door gaskets?

Victory Refrigeration: Services: FAQ

Will ThermoBlok spacers cause me to fail an emissions test?

Outlaw Engineering
In a word, no. Outlaw Engineering has tested vehicles before and after insulator installations and passed the stringent California State emissions testing. The vehicles that were tested were California emissions vehicles, not federal, and they were inspected by a VERY picky tech inspector at a California authorized Test and Repair facility. The tech would not allow the Hotshot intake on a vehicle even though the law stated that it was acceptable.

The manifold is a mixing manifold and therefore needed to mix the hot water from the boiler to attain the lower temperature for the underfloor heating.
