Part specs

Vehicle Make: Ford

The Redback DSF003 is a header gasket listed to fit the Ford Falcon (and Fairmont) built between 1966 and 2002. It's a low-cost service item at a recommended retail of $7.99.

What does a header gasket do?

A header gasket is the seal at the joint between the cylinder head and the header or exhaust manifold. Its job is to stop exhaust gas leaking there, and it's a wear item normally renewed whenever the manifold or headers are removed. The DSF003 is the gasket on its own, not a header. There's no diameter or system spec to quote — it's a sealing part — so the workshop confirms it matches your engine's port pattern.

Will it suit my Falcon or Fairmont?

It's listed to fit the Ford Falcon and Fairmont from 1966 to 2002. That's a very long span covering several engines and port patterns, so the exact engine matters for the right gasket. Tell us what your car runs and we'll check the DSF003 against the listing before ordering.

When would I use this gasket?

You'd reach for a gasket like this when fitting headers, refitting a manifold, or fixing a leak at the head joint. At this price it's worth renewing every time the joint is opened rather than reusing an old, compressed seal.

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits header gaskets like the DSF003 as part of header or manifold work in the Illawarra. We clean and check the head face, then fit the new gasket before torquing everything back down. Book the Falcon in and we'll match the gasket to your engine.
