Fel-Pro 1054 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

In this kit, you get the Fel-Pro 1054 Steel core laminate Engine Cylinder Head Gasket, designed to handle the demands of performance engines. This gasket is built with a steel core laminate and features a unique wire ring design that concentrates sealing pressure right around the combustion chamber. This is especially helpful for performance applications where cylinder pressures can be quite high and the cylinder head might experience some movement.

What makes this gasket stand out is how it addresses potential issues in high-performance V6, 4.5L SVO engines. The copper wire rings are key here; they help prevent brinelling and bending, which are common problems when you have intense sealing forces. In fact, this gasket raises combustion sealing force to about three times that of a standard head gasket, giving you a more reliable seal under stress. Just keep in mind, these are not intended for use in vehicles with emissions controls.
