Does this gasket come with any hardware?

The Fel-Pro 8172 PT PermaTorque Cylinder Head Gasket is sold individually. It does not include additional hardware like head bolts or studs; these would need to be sourced separately if required for your repair.

What is the primary function of a head gasket?

A head gasket seals the combustion chamber, preventing combustion gases from escaping the cylinder. It also seals coolant and oil passages between the engine block and cylinder head, ensuring proper engine operation and preventing leaks.
