Fel-Pro Ford Escape 26545 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

The multi-layered steel construction in this Fel-Pro 26545 PT PermaTorque head gasket is key to its performance, especially when dealing with engines that have seen some miles. This design helps maintain sealing stress and can accommodate the slight movement that happens with cylinder head lift under pressure. Fel-Pro specifically engineers these gaskets for the real-world repair environment, meaning they're built to seal even when the mating surfaces aren't perfectly smooth.

You'll find precise embossed sealing beads around all the critical areas, which helps eliminate potential leak paths. Plus, the unique combustion seal is designed to handle the high cylinder pressures you can encounter. The proprietary coating on this gasket also helps it withstand rougher sealing surface finishes, up to 80 Ra, giving you confidence in its ability to seal properly during your repair.
