Fel-Pro Chevrolet Cruze 26516 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

If you're working on the top end of your Chevrolet Cruze, Aveo, Sonic, or Pontiac G3, this Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gasket is a solid choice. Fel-Pro designs these gaskets specifically for the realities of engine repair, meaning they're built to handle less-than-perfect sealing surfaces you might encounter. This helps ensure you get a reliable seal even when the block or head isn't perfectly smooth.

What makes this gasket work well in those tricky situations is its multi-layered steel construction. This design helps maintain sealing pressure and can accommodate the slight movement or lift that happens in an engine under pressure. It also features a unique combustion seal that's made to handle high cylinder pressures. Plus, the proprietary coating on the gasket helps it grip and seal even on rougher surface finishes, up to 80 Ra, which is a common challenge in repair work.

You'll find precise embossed sealing beads in all the important spots. These beads are key to eliminating potential leak paths, ensuring that combustion gases and coolant stay where they belong. It’s a well-built part designed to get the job done right.
