Remflex Exhaust Manifold Gasket Set | 22R / 22RE (1984-95 4Runner)

Remflex Exhaust Manifold Gasket Sets

For 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner equipped with naturally aspirated 22R or 22RE engines and original exhaust manifolds.

Overview

These Remflex graphite exhaust manifold gasket sets are for 1984 Toyota 4Runner with the 22R engine and 1985–1995 Toyota 4Runner with the naturally aspirated 22RE engine. 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 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, which is a meaningful difference for a factory-manifold repair.

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 4Runner — 1st Gen

• 1984: 22R.
• 1985–1989: 22RE.

Toyota 4Runner — 2nd Gen

• 1990–1995: 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 1984 set also supports headers retaining the original early round-port flange and emissions-passage pattern.
• The year 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. The 1984 and 1985–1995 options match different factory manifold patterns.

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

Choose Fel-Pro for a 1985–1995 22RE 4Runner factory-manifold repair when retaining 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 1984 Remflex option is the round-port choice.
