Fel-Pro 17042 Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

The Fel-Pro 17042 cylinder head gasket is engineered specifically for the real-world repair environment, providing a reliable seal even on imperfect or slightly warped sealing surfaces. This gasket utilizes specialized sealing technologies and proprietary materials to solve the unique challenges of engine reassembly where factory-perfect tolerances may no longer exist.

Constructed with high-strength graphite or reinforced fiber facing and reinforced with steel armor, this gasket is built for durability and heat resistance. The integrated steel core provides the necessary structural integrity for a no-retorque design, ensuring the gasket maintains its seal without the need for a secondary torque sequence after the initial heat cycle.

• Proprietary Coating: Features a nonstick, anti-friction coating that effectively fills and seals minor surface scratches and imperfections.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Steel armor and reinforced materials provide the strength required to withstand high combustion pressures.
• No-Retorque Design: Engineered to maintain clamping force, eliminating the labor-intensive need to retorque head bolts.
• Repair Focused: Specifically designed to compensate for the surface finish irregularities often found in high-mileage engine blocks and heads.
• Manufacturer Part Number: 17042
