Installation Notes

Clean both mating surfaces before installation and remove old gasket material, corrosion, and coolant residue. Verify the water pump and engine surfaces are flat and free of damage so the gasket can seat evenly. Match the gasket to the correct application before assembly, especially when servicing a 1991-1999 Nissan Sentra, 1995-1998 Nissan 200SX, or 1991-1993 Nissan NX.

Quality Assurance

Fel-Pro gaskets are built around application-specific sealing materials and vehicle-focused fitment. That engineering approach supports consistent sealing performance for cooling system repairs on the listed Nissan applications.
