Fel-proFederal-Mogul Motorparts’ Fel-Pro Gaskets brand has introduced three PermaTorque MLS multi-layer-steel head gasket sets for a variety of popular 2.5L engines used in late-model Subaru passenger vehicles. The new sets are among 31 additional Fel-Pro part numbers that have been introduced in the past year for more than 2.3 million Subaru vehicles.

Each new Fel-Pro head set features the brand’s premium, problem-solving PermaTorque MLS head gaskets, which the company says provides the robust seal needed to contain peak combustion pressures and temperatures and withstand the significant casting motion encountered in many of today’s automotive engines. Each gasket features multiple layers of full-hard stainless steel, precisely engineered sealing beads and the brand’s proprietary blue aftermarket coating, which accommodates a wider range of surface finishes. Also featured in each head gasket is the brand’s exclusive LaserWeld stopper layer, which provides a precisely determined compression limit to help reduce head lift and bore distortion and prevent gasket damage while ensuring a superior combustion seal.

The following new PermaTorque MLS head sets are now available through Fel-Pro suppliers:

2006-2007 Subaru H4 2.5L DOHC EJ255 (Forester, Impreza)
2007-2009 Subaru H4 2.5L DOHC EJ257 (Impreza)

2007-2009 Subaru H4 DOHC EJ255 (Legacy, Outback)

HS26531PT2
2010-2012 Subaru H4 DOHC EJ255 (Legacy)

In addition to these new head gasket sets, Federal-Mogul Motorparts in the past year has introduced eight additional Fel-Pro head gaskets, six manifold sets, four valve cover sets, one oil pan set and 11 small-gasket sets for millions of 2.5L and 3.0L Subaru engines.

As “The Gaskets Professionals Trust,” Fel-Pro gaskets feature an array of innovative designs and proprietary materials engineered specifically for the aftermarket repair environment. With engineering and manufacturing operations based in in Skokie, Ill., the Fel-Pro brand offers comprehensive gasket coverage across all sealing repair categories for vehicles dating back to 1909.

Drive Belt Alignment Alignment is key to the health of an engine belt. The belt drive system is designed to create friction between the grooves on the belt and pulley to transfer power from the crankshaft to the alternator, water pump or power steering pump. If the grooves on the belt do not align with the pulleys, the friction won’t be evenly applied and can result in wear and noise.
