Right Side Head Gasket 22-20 Ford Super Duty

The right side head gasket for 2022–2020 Ford Super Duty trucks is a critical sealing component that prevents coolant and oil leakage between the cylinder head and engine block. This gasket handles extreme combustion pressures, thermal cycling, and the demanding conditions inherent to heavy-duty diesel and gasoline powerplants. Whether you're rebuilding after engine wear, addressing a coolant leak, or performing preventive maintenance on a high-mileage Super Duty, a factory-quality gasket replacement ensures long-term reliability and prevents costly secondary damage.

Manufactured by MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE under MPN 55517, this gasket is engineered to OEM specifications with multi-layer steel construction and premium facing materials designed to withstand repeated thermal expansion without loss of compression. The gasket's composite design resists fuel seepage, oil penetration, and coolant degradation—common failure points in stock gaskets on high-horsepower or heavily tuned Super Duty engines. Precision thickness and facing material composition ensure consistent clamp load distribution across the deck surface, minimizing the risk of blow-through or localized leakage that can compromise turbo longevity and internal engine cleanliness.

Technicians and owner-builders tackling full engine rebuilds, head gasket replacement, or turbo upgrades on 2020–2022 Super Duty trucks will benefit from this OEM-equivalent part's proven durability and fit. Installation requires proper head torque sequencing and a clean deck surface; many shops recommend new head bolts to maintain clamp pressure over time. For owners running stock powertrains or modest bolt-on modifications, this gasket delivers the reliability needed for years of dependable operation without warranty concerns or repeat failures.
