Description
Product Overview
The Fel-Pro 60716 round gasket is engineered to meet the exacting standards of original equipment manufacturers, delivering a fit that mirrors the factory‑installed part. Constructed from a high‑density, oil‑resistant material, the gasket measures precisely 0.1 inches in thickness, providing a thin yet robust barrier that prevents fuel, air, and exhaust gases from escaping the critical junctions of carburetor and fuel injection assemblies. Its round shape and one‑size‑fits‑all design simplify inventory management for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike, while the assorted color finish offers visual confirmation of proper placement during installation. The part carries the Fel-Pro brand reputation for durability, having passed rigorous validation tests for fit, form, and function across a broad spectrum of vehicle platforms, including classic TVR 3000M models and a range of Ford commercial trucks from the early 1980s through the 1990s. Detailed specifications list a product dimension of 9 x 6.5 x 0.1 inches, a lightweight profile of 0.8 ounces, and a UPC code of 084113807770, ensuring traceability throughout the supply chain. As a discontinued but still highly sought‑after component, the 60716 gasket remains a top‑ranked item in the automotive replacement gasket category, reflecting its continued relevance for restoration projects and routine maintenance.

Usage
This gasket is intended for use in both classic and contemporary gasoline engines where a reliable seal is essential for optimal performance. It fits a wide array of Ford models, including the F‑600, F‑700, F‑800, FT800, and L800 series, as well as the C600, C700, and C800 carburetor families. Additionally, the gasket is compatible with the TVR 3000M, making it a versatile solution for enthusiasts restoring vintage sports cars. Installation typically involves removing the old gasket, cleaning the mating surfaces to remove any residual oil or debris, and then positioning the new Fel-Pro gasket precisely in the groove. Because of its thin profile, the gasket does not require additional torque adjustments beyond the manufacturer’s standard bolt sequence, reducing the risk of over‑compression that could lead to premature failure. The gasket performs admirably in a range of operating conditions, from hot summer climates where engine temperatures can exceed 200 °F to colder environments where thermal contraction could otherwise compromise a looser seal. Its resistance to fuel additives, ethanol blends, and common automotive chemicals ensures longevity even in vehicles that see frequent short‑trip city driving or heavy‑duty hauling.

How do I install the gasket correctly?
Begin by removing the old gasket and thoroughly cleaning the mating surfaces to eliminate oil, carbon deposits, and any debris. Position the new Fel-Pro gasket in the designated groove, ensuring it sits flush with the surrounding metal. Follow the vehicle’s service manual for the correct bolt tightening sequence and torque specifications; the gasket’s thin profile does not require additional torque beyond the standard values. After installation, start the engine and inspect for any signs of leakage.
Will the gasket hold up to modern fuel blends?
Yes. The gasket’s material composition is specifically formulated to resist the effects of ethanol‑based gasoline, biodiesel blends, and other common fuel additives. This resistance helps maintain a reliable seal over the gasket’s service life, even in engines that regularly use premium or alternative fuel formulations.
What warranty does Fel-Pro provide for this gasket?
Fel-Pro offers a limited warranty that covers defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. If the gasket fails due to a manufacturing issue, Fel-Pro will replace the part at no additional cost. Customers can contact Fel-Pro’s support team with proof of purchase to initiate a warranty claim.
Can I use this gasket on a rebuilt engine?
Absolutely. The 60716 gasket is designed to work with both original and rebuilt engines, provided the engine’s specifications match the original design parameters. When installing on a rebuilt engine, it is especially important to verify that all mating surfaces are flat and free of imperfections to ensure the gasket seats correctly and provides an airtight seal.
