Yep... the intake manifold actually does have an operating temperature, and the coolant helps keep it there

Get a Hondata intake manifold gasket... Unless you're running a pure-race app, then you will want the coolant running through your manifold to warm it up to the proper temperature... The Hondata intake manifold gasket will help eliminate the excess heatsoak from the block, where most of the negative heat comes from...
