What makes this head gasket suitable for imperfect sealing surfaces?

This Fel-Pro gasket uses a proprietary coating and a multi-layered steel construction. These features allow it to effectively seal even when the cylinder head or engine block surfaces aren't perfectly smooth, which can happen during repairs.

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

The multiple layers of stainless steel help the gasket maintain consistent sealing pressure. This is important because it can accommodate slight head lift that occurs under high engine loads, ensuring a reliable seal.

Does this gasket come with any installation hardware?

This product is for the cylinder head gasket only. It does not include head bolts or other installation hardware, which should be sourced separately if needed.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Audi or Volkswagen, a solid head gasket is crucial for a reliable seal. This Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gasket, part number 26629PT, is built specifically for the repair environment, meaning it's designed to handle less-than-perfect sealing surfaces you might encounter during a rebuild. It fits a variety of vehicles, including models like the Audi A8 Quattro, Audi Q7, and Volkswagen Touareg.

What sets this gasket apart is its multi-layered steel construction. This design helps maintain sealing pressure even when the cylinder head experiences lift under high engine loads. It also features a unique combustion seal that can handle the high cylinder pressures common in these engines, along with a proprietary coating that helps it seal well against rougher surface finishes. You'll find precise embossed sealing beads around vital areas, which are key to eliminating potential leak paths and ensuring a strong seal.
