SOUTHFIELD, Mich.—Federal-Mogul Corp. has developed a new one-piece replacement gasket for 2009-12 Hyundai and Kia V6 engines, one of 100 additions to its Fel-Pro line.
The band addresses the fact that many V6 engines from Hyundai and Kia feature an RTV-silicone bead instead of a conventional gasket along the oil pan flange surface. The band is encapsulated in a black latex rubber coating, which prevents engine oil from wicking through the gasket body.
This new gasket is just one of 36 new stock and performance head gaskets and sets, 14 new valve cover gasket sets, and nine stock and performance intake manifold gasket sets added to the Fel-Pro line.
