Fel-Pro Mazda Protege HS 26194 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket Set

If you're working on the engine of your 2000-2002 Mazda 626, 2002-2003 Mazda Protege5, or 2001-2003 Mazda Protege, this Fel-Pro PermaTorque engine cylinder head gasket set is what you need to get a solid seal. Head gaskets are critical for keeping oil and coolant separated, and for maintaining proper compression within the cylinders. When it's time for a replacement, you want a gasket that's built to handle the realities of engine repair.

Fel-Pro designs these gaskets specifically for the repair environment, meaning they're made to seal even when the engine block or cylinder head surfaces aren't perfectly smooth. They use proprietary materials, like graphite or reinforced fiber facing with steel armor, for strength and durability. Plus, a non-stick anti-friction coating helps seal minor scratches and imperfections on the sealing surfaces. The steel core construction also means you typically won't need to re-torque the head bolts after installation, which can save you a step during the rebuild.
