Key Features:

Fel-Pro’s PermaTorque gasket set incorporates advanced sealing technologies and materials to deliver superior performance in real-world repair scenarios. Key features include:

• Exclusive Sealing Technologies: Proprietary materials and unique design elements ensure a superior seal even on challenging surfaces.
• Designed for Imperfect Surfaces: Engineered to seal effectively on worn or uneven cylinder head and block surfaces common in repair situations.
• Strong and Durable Construction: Utilizes graphite or reinforced fiber facing materials combined with steel armor for enhanced strength and longevity.
• Proprietary Nonstick Coating: Anti-friction coating helps seal minor surface scratches and imperfections, improving gasket reliability.
• No Retorque Required: Steel core design eliminates the need for retorquing head bolts, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Construction & Design:

The Fel-Pro PermaTorque gasket set features a multi-layer steel core that provides exceptional strength and resistance to heat and pressure. The gasket’s facing materials, either graphite or reinforced fiber, are carefully selected to withstand the harsh conditions inside the combustion chamber while maintaining flexibility to conform to surface irregularities. Steel armor reinforces the gasket edges, preventing blowouts and enhancing durability over time.

Additionally, the proprietary nonstick anti-friction coating reduces wear during installation and helps the gasket seat properly, sealing small imperfections that could otherwise lead to leaks. This thoughtful engineering ensures a long-lasting seal that performs reliably under the demanding conditions of Dodge and Jeep engines.

Installation & Fitment:

This gasket set is designed for direct fitment on the following vehicles without modification: 1993–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1994–2001 Dodge Ram, 1997–2004 Dodge Dakota, 1998–2003 Dodge Durango, and 2002–2010 Dodge Ram models. Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians and knowledgeable DIYers, with no retorquing of head bolts required thanks to the steel core design.

Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure the best seal. Fel-Pro gaskets are engineered to accommodate minor surface imperfections, but cleaning and inspecting the cylinder head and block surfaces before installation will maximize gasket performance and longevity.
