Fel-Pro 1011-2 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

This is the Fel-Pro 1011-2 steel core laminate head gasket, a solid choice for your Ford 302 (5.0L) or 351W (5.8L) V8 engine. When you're rebuilding or repairing the top end, a reliable head gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chambers and coolant passages. Fel-Pro builds these gaskets specifically for the realities of engine repair, meaning they can handle surfaces that aren't perfectly flat.

What sets this gasket apart is its construction. It uses a steel core laminate with graphite or reinforced fiber facing material, giving it strength and durability. There are precise embossed sealing beads, called Printoseal, at key areas to make sure there are no leak paths. Plus, it has a non-stick anti-friction coating that helps seal up small imperfections on the sealing surfaces. Because of the steel core, these gaskets are designed so you don't need to retorque the head bolts after initial installation, which can save you some time and hassle.
