Fel-Pro 1013 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford V8, specifically a 351 Cleveland, 351 Modified, or 400 engine, a reliable head gasket is crucial. The Fel-Pro 1013 is a steel core laminate gasket built to handle the demands of the repair environment, even when sealing surfaces aren't perfectly smooth.

This gasket uses a strong steel core with graphite or reinforced fiber facing material, giving it the durability needed for these V8 applications. It features precise embossed sealing beads, called Printoseal, at all critical areas to ensure there are no leak paths. Plus, it comes with a proprietary nonstick, anti-friction coating that helps seal minor imperfections on the cylinder head and block surfaces. Because of its robust steel core construction, this gasket is designed so you don't need to retorque the head bolts after initial installation, simplifying the rebuild process.
