Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford Ranger, or any of the many other vehicles this gasket fits, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gasket is built to seal even when the mating surfaces aren't perfectly flat, which can happen after an engine has been apart for a while.

Fel-Pro designed this gasket specifically for the repair environment. It features a steel core for strength and durability, and the facing material, often graphite or reinforced fiber, helps create a solid seal. It also has a special nonstick coating that can seal minor scratches or imperfections on the cylinder head or block surface. Because of its design, you generally don't need to go back and retorque the head bolts after installation, saving you a step.

This gasket is a popular choice for many Ford and Mazda vehicles from the mid-70s through the early 2000s, including popular models like the Ford Mustang and Mazda B-Series trucks.
