Remflex Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set | 20R / 22R / 22RE (1979-95 Pickup)

Remflex 20R / 22R / 22RE Exhaust Manifold / Header Gasket Set

For 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup equipped with naturally aspirated 20R, 22R or 22RE engines and original exhaust manifolds.

Overview

These Remflex graphite exhaust manifold gasket sets are for 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup models with naturally aspirated 20R, 22R or 22RE engines. Their thick, compressible graphite conforms to small irregularities between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold, helping seal minor flange unevenness that can contribute to recurring exhaust leaks.

The 1979–1984 option uses the round-port pattern. The 1985–1995 option uses the later egg-shaped pattern and is for original manifolds, not aftermarket headers.

The tradeoff is fragility: bending or excessive, uneven clamping can damage the graphite. The 1985–1995 set omits the formed spark-plug-wire heat shield found on original-style assemblies.

Key Features

• Two application-specific choices cover the early and later naturally aspirated manifold interfaces.
• Compressible graphite conforms to minor flange unevenness to help seal the exhaust joint.
• Eight-piece factory sets include the main gasket and seven peripheral seals.

Vehicle Fitment

Toyota Pickup — 1st Gen

• 1979–1980: 20R.
• 1981–1983: 22R.

Toyota Pickup — 2nd Gen

• 1984: 22R / 22RE with the early round-port interface.
• 1985–1988: 22R / 22RE.

Toyota Pickup — 3rd Gen

• 1989–1990: 22R / 22RE.
• 1991–1995: 22RE.

Application: U.S.-market factory engines with original naturally aspirated exhaust manifolds.

Fitment Notes

• Not for 22R-TE turbo or V6 engines. Those applications use separate gasket sets.
• 1985–1995 is for original manifolds only, not aftermarket headers. The 1979–1984 set also supports headers retaining the original early round-port flange and emissions-passage pattern.
• The year-range choices describe factory engine and manifold configurations; engine swaps, changed cylinder heads and custom exhaust systems can change the required gasket pattern.
• Not every peripheral gasket is used on every original emissions-plumbing arrangement.

Which Exhaust Manifold Gasket Should You Choose?

Remflex Graphite — Best for Resealing Minor Flange Unevenness

Choose Remflex when minor imperfections at the exhaust joint are the sealing concern and you want a thick gasket that conforms to those surfaces. Select the year range for your original engine and manifold pattern.

Fel-Pro Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set — Best for Later Factory-Manifold Repairs with Heat-Shield Coverage

Choose the Fel-Pro set for a 1985–1995 22R / 22RE factory-manifold repair when keeping the original-style spark-plug-wire shield is your priority.

Our Recommendation: For a routine 1985–1995 factory-manifold repair, choose Fel-Pro when shield coverage matters most. Choose Remflex when its ability to conform to minor flange unevenness addresses your sealing needs; the 1979–1984 Remflex option is the round-port choice.
