The Fel-Pro 26282 PT PermaTorque engine cylinder head gasket is designed to provide a reliable seal for Kia Optima models from 2001 to 2004, as well as select Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe vehicles. Crafted specifically for repair environments, this gasket features multi-layered stainless steel construction that maintains sealing stress and accommodates head lift under extreme engine conditions.
