Fel-Pro Ford Escort HS 9539 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Set

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2000-2002 Ford Escort, a quality head gasket set is crucial for getting your engine sealed up right. This PermaTorque gasket set from Fel-Pro is built to handle the real-world repair environment, meaning it's designed to seal even when your engine block or cylinder head surfaces aren't perfectly smooth.

Fel-Pro uses proprietary materials and unique design features to create a reliable seal. The gasket itself has a non-stick, anti-friction coating that helps seal minor scratches and imperfections on the sealing surfaces. It also features a steel core and reinforced facing material, giving it strength and durability. A notable benefit of this design is that it's a no-retorque gasket, so you won't need to go back and tighten the head bolts after the initial heat cycle, which simplifies the reassembly process.
