Detailed Product Description

The Fel-Pro 61565 gasket is engineered to provide a secure seal between the fuel injection throttle body and the intake manifold on Mitsubishi Outlander models. Its hydrogenated nitrile rubber composition offers resistance to fuel, oil, and heat, which is critical for maintaining engine efficiency and preventing leaks. The gasket’s precise dimensions, including an inside diameter of 2.850 inches (72.3 mm) and an outside diameter of 2.500 inches (63.5 mm), ensure a proper fit without compromising airflow or fuel delivery. With a thickness of 0.228 inches (5.7 mm), this gasket maintains the correct spacing and sealing pressure required for optimal throttle body performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This fuel injection throttle body mounting gasket is compatible with Mitsubishi Outlander models, providing a direct replacement for worn or damaged gaskets in the air and fuel delivery system. It is specifically designed to address issues related to throttle body sealing and fuel injection efficiency.

• Prevents vacuum leaks that can cause rough idling or poor acceleration
• Eliminates fuel leaks around the throttle body mounting area
• Maintains proper throttle body alignment and spacing
• Reduces risk of engine performance issues related to air/fuel mixture imbalance
• Helps avoid check engine light triggers related to throttle body sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Fel-Pro 61565 gasket, ensure the throttle body and intake manifold surfaces are clean and free of old gasket material or debris. Proper torque specifications should be followed to avoid over-compression or damage to the gasket. Since this gasket has no bolt holes, alignment during installation is critical to ensure a proper seal. It is recommended to inspect the throttle body and surrounding components for wear or damage during replacement.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Fel-Pro gaskets are manufactured to meet stringent quality standards, using premium materials like hydrogenated nitrile rubber to ensure durability and chemical resistance. The 61565 gasket undergoes rigorous testing to confirm fitment and sealing performance for Mitsubishi Outlander applications. While specific warranty details may vary, Fel-Pro products typically come with a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship, providing confidence in the product’s reliability.
