Detailed Description

The Standard Ignition VG170 EGR valve gasket is a replacement sealing component for exhaust gas recirculation service. As a metal gasket, it is built for the heat and pressure conditions found at the EGR valve interface. This part is used on a wide range of vehicles, including the Ford E-150, E-250, F-150, Explorer, Mustang, and related Lincoln and Mercury models, making it a practical choice for emission system repairs where a secure seal is required.
