Fel-Pro Volkswagen Jetta 26161 PT PermaTorque Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your 1999-2005 or 2011-2015 Volkswagen Jetta, a reliable head gasket is crucial. This Fel-Pro PermaTorque head gasket, part number 26161PT, is specifically made for the repair environment, meaning it's designed to handle imperfect sealing surfaces that can sometimes be found on engines. It's a well-built component that helps ensure a proper seal for your engine's combustion chambers.

What sets this gasket apart is its multi-layered steel construction. This design helps maintain sealing stress even when the cylinder head experiences lift, which is common in engines that see higher cylinder pressures. Fel-Pro also uses a unique combustion seal that accommodates this movement, and an exclusive proprietary coating that can handle rougher sealing surface finishes, up to 80 Ra. You'll find precise embossed sealing beads in all the vital areas, which work to eliminate potential leak paths, giving you a solid seal.
