This part cross-references FEL-PRO 9711 PT and Ford F72Z-6051-AA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Loss of cylinder compression from a failed head gasket
• Coolant or combustion gas leakage at the cylinder head sealing surface
• Overheating caused by compromised sealing between engine passages
• Rough running or misfire conditions related to head gasket failure
• Oil and coolant mixing from a damaged sealing interface

Installation Notes

Replacement of cylinder head bolts is necessary for proper installation of this multi-layered steel gasket. Clean and inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces before assembly, and verify bore size and engine application before installation. Follow the vehicle service manual for torque sequence, torque-to-yield procedures, and final recheck steps.
