Part specs

Vehicle Make: Ford

The Redback DSF018 is a header gasket listed to fit the Ford Falcon and Fairlane built from 1966 through to early 1988. It is the seal that sits between the cylinder head and the header or exhaust manifold flange, supplied by Redback.

What is a header gasket and where does it sit?

A header gasket is the flat seal clamped between the engine’s exhaust port face and the header (extractor) or manifold flange. It contains hot exhaust gas at that joint so the system stays sealed, with no leaks to whistle or rob back-pressure. It is a wear part — the gasket is renewed every time the flanges come apart to fit extractors or service the head. The DSF018 covers that joint on the older Falcon and Fairlane.

Which Fords does the DSF018 suit?

It is listed to fit the Ford Falcon and Fairlane from 1966 to early 1988 per the listing. That is a broad window spanning several engines, so the correct gasket comes down to your exact port pattern and flange. Confirm the exact build with the workshop before ordering so the part matches your head and headers.

Does this part change road compliance?

A header gasket is a sealing component, not an emissions part, so it does not affect a vehicle’s compliance on its own. It seals the joint between the head and the headers or manifold. Legality sits with the system it seals against, not the gasket.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men fits and seals header joints in-house across the Illawarra. We match the gasket to your port face, make sure the flanges are flat, and torque the joint evenly so it seals first time. At an RRP of $11.59 it is a cheap part worth renewing whenever the headers come off the old Falcon or Fairlane. Send your build and we’ll confirm it suits.
