Fel-Pro 1041 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

This Fel-Pro 1041 head gasket is what you get when you need a reliable seal for your 5.7L LS1 V8 engine, especially if the sealing surfaces aren't perfectly flat. It's built with a steel core laminate and features a graphite or reinforced fiber facing material for strength and durability. This gasket is designed to handle the realities of engine repair, ensuring a solid seal even on less-than-perfect surfaces.

Fel-Pro developed this gasket with specific features to prevent leaks. It has precise embossed sealing beads at critical areas to close off any potential leak paths. Plus, it comes with a non-stick, anti-friction coating that helps fill in small imperfections on the sealing surface. The steel core construction also means you typically don't need to retorque the head bolts after installation, simplifying the job.
