ANr is quality, and if its the same as hondata then go for it, especially since its 35 bux, and reusable...

Well, it's not the same as Hondata's. Polyethylene softens at 176F. Your head easily gets to a higher temperature than that.

Is this basically like the Hondata gasket?

it is made of the same material

our gaskets are made by a well know industrial gasket manufacturer and will not melt at 176F Guranteed.

I'll just state what I know about high-density polyethylene. HDPE softens at 176F, which means that it will begin to creep and distort at that temperature. It melts to liquid at around 270F.
The coefficient of thermal expansion is .00006 per in per inch per degree F. Explanation: say the gasket is 12" long and it heats up to 200F. .00006*12*200 = .144". If the gasket were not sandwiched between the head and the intake manifold, when cold, the gasket will be 12" long and when hot, the gasket will be 12.144" long. The fact that the gasket is sandwiched with bolts means that the gasket will distort within its confines.
Anyways, that's what I know about HDPE. I'm no expert in the matter, nor do I know what tests you've done to verify the effectiveness of HDPE in this application. If you guys have done the research to verify that HDPE works as an intake gasket, everything should be ok.

we have had cars testing out the intake gasket for over a year now without any problems. we test our products throughly before putting it on the market. trust me, if we had problems with it melting, we wouldn't sell it nor GUARANTEE it.
