Part specs

Vehicle Make: Ford

The Redback DSF157 is a header gasket listed to fit the Ford Falcon and Fairmont built from 2002 through to late 2014. It is the seal 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 keeps the hot exhaust joint sealed so there are no leaks at the head. It is a wear item, renewed whenever those flanges come apart to fit extractors or service the engine. The DSF157 covers that joint on the BA-to-FG era Falcon and Fairmont.

Which Fords does the DSF157 suit?

It is listed to fit the Ford Falcon and Fairmont from 2002 to late 2014 per the listing — the last of the locally built large Fords. Because that window covers several engines, the correct gasket depends on your exact port pattern and flange. Confirm the exact build with the workshop before ordering.

Does this part affect road compliance?

A header gasket is a sealing component and does not change a vehicle’s emissions or compliance status on its own. It seals the joint between the head and whatever headers or manifold are fitted. The legality question 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, check the flanges are flat, and torque the joint evenly so it seals first time. At an RRP of $20.89 it is an inexpensive part well worth renewing when the headers come off this later Falcon or Fairmont. Send your build and we’ll confirm it suits.

Stocked and fitted by Oak Flats Muffler Men, the Illawarra exhaust and 4x4 specialist in Oak Flats, NSW.
