Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your 2001-2006 Volkswagen Beetle, Jetta, or Golf, a quality head gasket is crucial for a lasting seal. This Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gasket is engineered specifically for the repair environment, meaning it's built to handle less-than-perfect sealing surfaces that can sometimes be found during an engine rebuild. This is a common scenario, and having a gasket designed for it makes a big difference in the reliability of your repair.

The multi-layered steel construction is a key feature here. It helps maintain consistent sealing pressure even as the engine heats up and cools down, and it can accommodate the slight movement or lift that happens in an engine under pressure. Fel-Pro also uses a unique combustion seal that's designed to handle the high cylinder pressures you encounter. Plus, the proprietary coating on the gasket helps it grip and seal even on rougher surface finishes, ensuring there are no leak paths.
