Fel-Pro Ford Explorer 26301 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

The multi-layered steel construction in this Fel-Pro 26301PT PermaTorque head gasket is key to its performance. It uses multiple layers of stainless steel that work together to maintain sealing stress and can even accommodate head lift, which is crucial for keeping a solid seal under demanding engine conditions. This design helps prevent over-compression of the embossed sealing beads, ensuring a strong seal even at peak combustion pressures and temperatures.

Fel-Pro specifically engineers these gaskets for the real-world repair environment, meaning they're built to handle imperfect sealing surfaces. The exclusive LaserWeld stopper layer technology is a notable feature that helps reduce damage from blow-out and contributes to a stronger combustion seal. Plus, a proprietary coating is applied to help this gasket withstand rougher sealing surface finishes, up to 80 Ra, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of Ford Explorer models, as well as vehicles like the Ford Mustang and Ranger.
