Detailed Description

Fel-Pro 71642 is a vacuum pump gasket made for emission control sealing applications on Ford Super Duty trucks. It is intended to help restore a secure seal at the vacuum pump interface, where heat cycling, surface irregularities, and age can contribute to leakage. This gasket is a practical choice for 2011-2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2011-2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty repairs, especially when the original sealing surface is less than ideal. This part cross-references Ford BC3Z-2A572A and MAHLE B32630 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Vacuum pump oil seepage at the gasket surface
• Loss of sealing integrity from worn or uneven mating surfaces
• Emission control service issues tied to vacuum pump leakage
• Repeat repairs caused by a poor-quality replacement seal

Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and remove old gasket material, oil residue, and debris. Inspect the vacuum pump and surrounding surfaces for warpage, pitting, or contamination before reassembly. Confirm the application by matching part number 71642 to the vehicle and engine service information for your Ford F-250 Super Duty or Ford F-350 Super Duty.
