Detailed Product Description

The Fel-Pro 61274 gasket is engineered to provide a secure seal between the fuel injection throttle body and intake manifold on select Mercury Quest and Nissan Villager models. Its rubber construction offers flexibility and resistance to fuel and air leaks, which is critical for maintaining engine performance and efficiency. The gasket’s precise inside diameter of 2.500 inches (63.5 mm) ensures compatibility with throttle bodies requiring this specific size, while the outside dimensions of 3.250 by 2.750 inches accommodate the mounting surface accurately. With a thickness of 0.268 inches (6.8 mm), this gasket maintains the necessary compression to prevent vacuum leaks and fuel seepage.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Prevents air leaks that can cause rough idling or poor engine performance
• Eliminates fuel leaks around the throttle body mounting area
• Helps maintain proper air-fuel mixture for efficient combustion
• Reduces risk of vacuum leaks that trigger engine warning lights
• Supports throttle body stability and alignment during engine operation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material before installation
• Verify the gasket orientation matches the throttle body and intake manifold design
• Do not overtighten mounting bolts to avoid gasket deformation
• Inspect the throttle body and intake manifold for damage or warping prior to installation
• Use appropriate torque specifications as outlined in the vehicle service manual
