Fel-Pro BMW 318is HS 26246 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Set

The PermaTorque head gasket in this set is made with a special composite material that helps it seal reliably even when the gasket surface isn't perfectly flat. This is a big deal for older engines or those that have seen a lot of heat cycles, as it means you're less likely to have leaks around the combustion chambers or coolant passages. This gasket set is specifically designed for the BMW 318is, ensuring it matches the original factory specifications for a direct fit.

Fel-Pro builds these PermaTorque gaskets with a multi-layer steel (MLS) construction, which is strong and durable. The composite sealing material works with the steel layers to create a robust seal that can handle the pressures and temperatures inside your engine. This means you can expect a dependable seal that helps maintain proper compression and prevents coolant from mixing with oil, or vice versa. It’s a well-built component aimed at providing a long-lasting repair for your engine’s top end.

When you're replacing your head gasket, it's important to have all the necessary components for a complete job. This set includes the main head gasket and other seals and gaskets needed to properly reassemble the top of your engine. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on torque sequences and any other required procedures to ensure a successful repair.
