What makes this gasket suitable for imperfect sealing surfaces?

This Fel-Pro PermaTorque gasket is engineered with a multi-layered steel construction and a proprietary coating. These features allow it to accommodate minor imperfections and rougher finishes on the cylinder head and engine block sealing surfaces, which is common in repair situations.

Does this head gasket come with all the necessary components for installation?

This product is for the PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket itself. It is recommended to consult the vehicle's service manual or manufacturer guidelines for any additional components or sealants that may be required for proper installation.

What is the benefit of the multi-layered steel construction?

The multi-layered steel construction helps the gasket maintain consistent sealing pressure. It also allows the gasket to accommodate head lift, which can occur in engines experiencing high cylinder pressures, ensuring a reliable seal.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1990-1998 Mazda Protege, or working on a 1991-1996 Ford Escort, Kia Sephia, 1994-2000 Mazda Miata, or 1991-1996 Mercury Tracer, a solid cylinder head gasket is crucial. This Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gasket is designed specifically for the realities of engine repair, meaning it's built to handle less-than-perfect sealing surfaces that you might encounter during a job.

What sets this gasket apart is its multi-layered steel construction. This design helps it maintain sealing pressure even when the cylinder head experiences lift, which can happen under high cylinder pressures. Fel-Pro also uses a unique combustion seal that accommodates these pressures and movements. Plus, it features a proprietary coating that can handle rougher sealing surface finishes, up to 80 Ra, so you don't have to worry as much about surface prep. Precise embossed sealing beads are strategically placed to prevent any leak paths, ensuring a strong seal.
