FEL PRO GASKETS 260-1955 gasket set for the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 6.0L and other vehicles seals the cylinder heads, valve covers, oil pan and valve stems during an engine reseal.
- PermaTorqueMLS head gaskets are included.
- PermaDry molded rubber valve cover and oil pan gaskets are included.
- Premium Top-Hat design valve stem seals are included.
- Designed for imperfect sealing surfaces and made with proprietary materials for the repair environment.
- Application-specific design that meets or exceeds all original equipment specifications.
Oil seeping at the valve covers or oil pan, or coolant loss near the cylinder heads, can mean an engine gasket set is due. Before you replace the set, rule out a loose fitting, a cracked hose or another outside source of the same leak, because new gaskets only help if a worn gasket is the cause.
The 2001-2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 6.0L and 2001-2003 GMC Sierra 1500 6.0L fit this set too, along with many other V8-6.0L vehicles.
