Fel-Pro 1026 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

The steel wire rings within this Fel-Pro 1026 head gasket are designed to surround each cylinder, providing a highly concentrated seal right around the combustion chamber. This construction is key for handling the higher cylinder pressures you'll find in performance V6 engines, like the GMP Performance 196 (3.2L), 231 (3.8L), and 252 (4.1L) applications.

Fel-Pro builds these gaskets with a steel core laminate and proprietary materials, specifically for the challenges of the repair environment. The wire ring design raises combustion sealing force to about three times that of standard head gaskets, offering solid sealing strength where it matters most. Keep in mind these are not intended for use in emission-controlled vehicles.
