Product Details

If you're working on the top end of your 1995-1997 Saab 9000, a good cylinder head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chambers and coolant passages. This PermaTorque head gasket from Fel-Pro is built specifically for the repair environment, meaning it's designed to handle imperfect sealing surfaces you might encounter during a rebuild.

Fel-Pro's PermaTorque design is a notable advantage because it means you won't need to go back and retorque the head bolts after the initial tightening. This saves you a step and ensures a reliable seal without the need for follow-up adjustments. It meets or exceeds all original equipment specifications, so you know it's made to fit and function correctly on your Saab.
