Fel-Pro 35816 Water Cross Over Gasket

Engine gasket for cooling-system repairs

The Fel-Pro 35816 is a water cross-over gasket designed to seal the coolant passage between engine components during reassembly. It fits automotive service work where the original seal has failed or during a scheduled overhaul. The part is supplied new and carries the Fel-Pro brand trusted by professional technicians. Transparent colouring allows quick visual confirmation of seating before final torque.

Straightforward fit with clean surfaces

Installation follows the normal gasket replacement procedure: remove the old material, clean both mating faces thoroughly, and place the new gasket without sealant unless the service manual specifies otherwise. The most common issue is residual debris or uneven surfaces that prevent a uniform seal, leading to coolant weeps after refill. Careful surface preparation eliminates the problem in almost every case.

Suits mechanics sealing a cross-over joint

This gasket serves anyone addressing a leaking water cross-over on a compatible engine, whether in a shop or a home garage. It is not intended for builders who need a full gasket set covering head, intake and exhaust surfaces, nor for applications where the cross-over passage uses an O-ring or formed seal instead of a flat gasket.
